PRO HUNTING EXTREMISTS AND THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY

Early day motion 1610, tabled 16 July 2003 by Martin Salter (Labour). Signed by 77 members.

That this House condemns the presence of the neo-nazi British National Party at the Countryside Alliance lobby of Parliament against the Third Reading of the Hunting Bill on 9th July; notes the BNP's support for hunting and the pledge by many of those present at the lobby to break the law; views with concern threats by pro-hunting extremists in the Real Countryside Alliance to block motorways, sabotage reservoirs, disrupt honourable Members' advice surgeries and damage phone lines; and calls upon the Home Secretary to take whatever action is necessary to uphold the rule of law.

Signatures by party: Labour 67, Labour/Co-operative 6, Liberal Democrat 4.
