asked the Minister of Agriculture whether all Crown lands are reserved as animal and bird sanctuaries; and, if not, will he consider what steps can be taken to secure that this shall be effective?

With the exception of Windsor Great Park, where birds and other animals are protected, almost all the Crown lands in rural areas are let for agricultural holdings, and I regret that it is impossible to adopt the suggestion put forward.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say if hunting is permitted on any of these Crown lands?

There are no abnormal regulations in regard to hunting.

Is hunting prevented on Crown lands, and will the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of preventing hunting on any Crown lands?

The hon. Member had better put down that question.
