REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF RED SQUIRRELS

Early day motion 204, tabled 29 June 2015 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 38 members.

That this House is concerned at the decrease in the number of red squirrels over the last 50 years, despite attempts to promote and safeguard the species; supports wildlife organisations that have conservation programmes directed at protecting and sustaining the animals; and encourages local communities to keep a data record of red and grey squirrels sited in order for a map to be made identifying potential areas for action.
