Answered by Michael Russell on 14 Nov 2008 · 8 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government intends that issues relating to the regulation of drag snares should be looked at by the Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime (PAW) Scotland legislation sub-group. It is a priority task for this sub-group, which is chaired by Sheriff Drummond to formulate proposals on the detail of new regulations on the use of snares, which would include consideration of the regulations as they relate to use of drag snares.
