The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will review the validity of the methodology employed by the Hawk and Owl Trust research project on the impact of raptors on racing pigeons prior to accepting any of its conclusions or recommendations.
The answer
I refer Mr Neil to my answer to question S1W-4163 in which I indicated that I had asked SNH for advice on the recommendations contained in the UK Raptor Working Group Report and how they might be implemented in Scotland. The Scottish Executive has no plans to review the validity of the methodology employed by the Hawk and Owl Trust research project on the impact of raptors on racing pigeons.
