HOUNDS AND HUNTING

Early day motion 821A1, tabled 5 March 2003 by Nick Palmer (Labour). Signed by 50 members.

leave out from 'House' to end and add 'notes that the known balance of parliamentary opinion and the Government's commitment to allow use of the Parliament Act if necessary makes a ban ion fox hunting inevitable; considers that it is therefore irresponsible for hunts to continue to breed hounds; and calls upon all hunts to halt such breeding now.'.
