Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) (No. 2) Bill

House of Commons, 21 October 2022.

John Spellar (Labour, Warley)

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Is there any way of saying to the public outside, 90% of whom approve of that Bill, that it has been put off and even promised by the Government, but yet again, the Government Whips Office is blocking it? Is there any way of letting them know what is happening?

Eleanor Laing (Conservative, Epping Forest)

No. The right hon. Gentleman asks a reasonable question, but no, there is no such way—except insofar as he has just done so.
