The message
from "BAC" contains these words:

Too late to worry about it now - and no harm done, either. One more or less
grey squirrel in an area already populated by the breed isn't likely to make
any significant difference.

It does matter on several counts, if someone inadvertently moves
animal diseases around the country, or repopulates preserved woodland
with a pregnant squirrel, when much time energy and money has been spent
trying to remove them. Or, if they move grey squirrels into a
red-squirrel "pocket", or into a squirrel-controlled area where very
rare birds are nesting.
