To ask the Scottish Government whether the Scottish Natural Heritage review of gamebird hunting will include recommendations on next steps for introducing a system of licensing for gamebird hunting.

The answer

Answered by Roseanna Cunningham on 8 Nov 2016 · 8 days after it was lodged, on time

Recommendations were not sought from the authors of the report. The remit was to conduct desk-based research to study licensing and game bird hunting legislation in countries that were comparable to Scotland in terms of huntable species and traditions.
