<p>Natural England (NE) is working at pace to assess individual licences to allow
lawful control of these bird species to continue. NE is ensuring that this urgent
work is appropriately resourced whilst minimising impact on delivery of other services.
Since the revocation of the licences by NE the Secretary of State has taken over ultimate
decision making powers for general licences relating to the purposes covered by the
three revoked general licences, recognising the scale of interest and concern that
has been generated by the decision to revoke. The Secretary of State will consider
the present situation with intensity and urgency.</p><p> </p>
