Will the Welsh Government confirm that no regulations or restrictions will be enacted that will impact on gamebird release in the 2024-25 season in Wales?
Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 24/10/2023
The Welsh Government is awaiting on recommendations from Natural Resources Wales following their recent consultation on gamebird releases. After receipt of these recommendations, if I consider it appropriate, I will introduce legislation to bring into force a licencing regime in readiness for the 2025-26 season. This will not apply to the 2024-25 gamebird shooting season.
