asked Her Majesty's Government:What methods local authorities may use for the destruction of feral cats and whether shooting is one of them.

Local authorities have no special powers or responsibilities in regard to feral cats. Permissible methods of destroying feral cats are not prescribed by law. It is for local authorities to decide what action to take.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What was the voting at the UN General Assembly on the resolution urging Israel to withdraw its forces from Lebanon; how the United Kingdom delegation voted; and who voted against.

The 7th Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly on Palestine approved on 26th June a resolution urging Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. The United Kingdom and all members of the Ten voted in favour. Only the United States and Israel voted against.

asked Her Majesty's Government:How the UN Security Council voted on the French resolutions calling for a cease-fire in Lebanon and the disengagement of Israeli and Palestine armed forces under the supervision of the United Nations; how the British delegation voted; and what was the result.

All members of the Security Council except the United States voted on 26th June in favour of the draft French resolution. The resolution failed because of the United States veto.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Why certain documents relating to the Falklands have been withdrawn from the Public Record Office since the Falklands invasion; whether they will publish a list of those documents and in each case state when it will be replaced; and whether they will publish a summary and bibliography of the texts available, which are relevant to the question of sovereignty over the islands.

Since the Falkland Islands invasion a small number of items have been withdrawn from the Public Record Office, because they were required for use within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Those which are no longer required have been returned to the Public Record Office. I cannot say at present when it will be possible to return the remainder. I do not intend to publish a list, summary or bibliography of these records.House adjourned at twenty-one minutes past ten o'clock.
