SHORTAGE OF FOXES

Early day motion 438, tabled 28 June 2005 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House agrees with Simon Hart, Chief Executive of the Countryside Alliance, that his organisation would be ridiculed in Parliament on the publication of a letter sent by the Masters of Fox Hounds Association to 800 hunt masters warning of the nationwide shortage of foxes and urging landowners to breed more foxes to solve the problem; and welcomes this further evidence that foxhunting is unconnected with pest control.

Signatures by party: Labour 33, Liberal Democrat 7.
