Driven Grouse Shooting

Proceeding contribution from Angela C Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 October 2016. It occurred during e-petition debate on Driven Grouse Shooting.

I feel the need to respond to that point because I have been named. That just is not true. There are no hen harriers in my constituency. They have not nested in my constituency for years. There have been just three nests across the whole of England this year, and none of them is in the Peak district. The hon. Gentleman ought to talk to the national park in which he and I are neighbours to establish the truth. The Peak District national park is on the point of walking away from voluntary partnerships because we are not getting the success on hen harrier nesting that we deserve.
