DEFRA are proposing to change various regulations regarding domestic birds, l have asked for
clarification before the meeting on 28th,
One that l think they will push for is the resurrection of the schedule 4 species, if you
recollect in 2008 they scrapped the scheme because of the costs of approximately
£260,000 per year,year on year.losses……..WHY?
I believe very strongly that the reason is to have EVERY PEREGRINE FALCON in captivity in the
UK registered so they can push ahead with the formation of a DNA register.
They have at least GRANTED £100,00 what l know of to Dr Sarah Underwood who is working
on THE NÀTIONAL PEREGRINE DNA SCHEME, Working for something called SASA.

Today, the IOA have received an email from DEFRA stating that there will be no further decision making with regards to the class/general licenses for the Mealy Redpoll, Siberian Goldfinch and Bullfinch, following the announcement of the snap election on the 8th June 2017. After the election, work will again begin by DEFRA/Natural England on the completion of the licenses.
All existing licenses will remain in place until further notice.
Dear Stakeholder
On 22 November 2016 Dr Therese Coffey MP, the Parliamentary Undersecretary of State, wrote to the Chair of the Law Commission giving the UK Government’s response to our recommendations. Dr Coffey noted:
Exit from the EU provides an opportunity to re-examine our regulatory framework and how it works, so that it is fit for purpose to meet our national needs in future and fulfil our international obligations. It means we need to consider the implications of EU Exit for our approach to wildlife policy before deciding whether and how to implement your proposals and whether some of your proposals would need amending in light of EU Exit.
Pressure on parliamentary time also means it is likely to be very difficult to find time to bring forward legislative proposals for major reform in the near future. However, I am happy to support the principle of looking at wildlife legislation as a whole to provide a coherent system which achieves better outcomes. The Law Commission’s work will be invaluable in informing the Government’s thinking.
