HUNTING WITH DOGS (No. 2)

Early day motion 909, tabled 19 October 1999 by Lord Stratford (Labour). Signed by 193 members.

That this House congratulates the Prime Minister and wholeheartedly welcomes his statement that hunting will be banned as soon as possible; recognises that the Government has listened to the 411 honourable Members and the overwhelming majority of the public who wish to see hunting banned before the millennium; recognises that hunting is cruel and barbaric and has no place in a modern Britain; pledges to support future Government legislation that will provide an outright national ban on deer, mink, hare and fox hunting; and calls for proposed legislation to be included in the forthcoming Queen's Speech.
