Beavers: Conservation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to permit the controlled release of beavers into the countryside.
Answered by Mary Creagh
This is a devolved matter and the information provided therefore relates to England only.
Defra will continue to work with Natural England to develop our approach to beaver reintroductions and management in England. Further information on this will be published in due course.
