HUNTING WITH DOGS

Early day motion 810, tabled 12 July 1999 by Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 53 members.

That this House, noting that it is now a year since the Wild Mammals (Hunting with Dogs) Private Members Bill was withdrawn, welcomes the reported comments of the Prime Minister that he wishes to see an end to this barbaric activity; calls on the government to immediately set in motion the necessary procedures so that a new Bill can be introduced without further delay; and requests that sufficient time be made available so that hunting with dogs becomes a thing of the past.

Signatures by party: Labour 40, Liberal Democrat 10, Labour/Co-operative 2, Conservative 1.
