Restriction of Deer Calibres in England

[Redeye]

I seem to remember reading earlier in the year that the restriction of .240" as the minmimum permitted calibre for all deer was to be relaxed as in Scotland e.g. you could use a .22-250 for roe, muntjac and CWD.

Does anyone know if this is happening?

thanks
