Birds of Prey (Protection)
HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 cc972-3W 972W
§ Mr. Hinchliffe
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what assessment
he has made of current legislation protecting British birds of
prey; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Atkins
[holding answer 16 February 1994]: Under the Wildlife and
Countryside Act 1981 British birds of 973W prey are protected
against taking, killing, injuring or removal from the wild in any
other way, except under licence. I am satisfied that this
legislation is required and appropriate. Many birds of prey, both
native and non-native, are also subject to the registration and
ringing requirements of section 7 and schedule 4 to the Act if held
in captivity. A consultation paper was issued by the Department
last April inviting comments on possible changes to these
requirements. Consultation on detailed proposals affecting
registration and ringing of certain hawks and other species should
begin very shortly. PLEASE SUPPLY A COPY OF THE CONSULTATION AND
THE REPLIES ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO HYBRIDS.

Dear Mr. Errington,

Thank you for your request for information.

The House of Lords administration does not hold copies of the consultation paper referred to by the Secretary of State for the Environment as having been issued by his department. Neither does the House of Lords administration hold copies of any responses. These would have been sent to the government department and not to the House of Lords.

If this information is still held it is likely that it will be held by Defra. You may therefore wish to send your request to Defra. Contact details are available at: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/opengo...

Yours sincerely,

Frances Grey
Freedom of Information Officer
House of Lords
