Conservative MP for Southend West David Amess brought up the problem of destructive wild animals in Parliament yesterday.
During a speech that touched on economic policy, energy and climate change, representation and governance, Mr Amess mentioned a particular incident to highlight his objections to Quasi-Autonamous Non-Governmental Organisations, or quangos.
Mr Amess said: “I will never forget what happened when I tried to help my constituents about the problem of badgers.
“Some people might not think it a big issue, but in the course of a two-year battle to get something done about badgers, the Minister responsible, who now happens to be in charge of climate change, lost power, and the power for overall governance of badgers went to a quango.”
