P-06-1184 Immediately ban the use of toxic lead in all ammunition in Wales... lead is killing our wildlife! - Correspondence from the petitioner to the Committee, 13 January 2025

Hello 

We would like to make the following statement to the petitions committee concerning the proposed ban of outdoor lead shot by the HSE:

"Members of Barry Action for Nature welcomed the HSE's statement calling for a ban on outdoor lead shot. This follows a massive consultation and the catagorical evidence that lead shot is poisoning our wildlife, and has done for decades.

We now call on the Senedd to legislate as soon as possible for a Wales wide ban and consign lead shot to the dustbin of history alongside snares!

We must, however, question the British and Welsh shooting industry who has constantly resisted this vital policy change which will now go on to help protect nature in Wales and throughout the rest of the UK!"

Thanks
