Hunting
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of banning on trail hunting on countryside management.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
On 26 March, Defra launched a Consultation on Proposals to Prohibit Trail Hunting in England and Wales which invites views on a range of matters including any potential environmental impacts of a ban. The consultation will be open until 18 June and Defra welcomes responses from all points of view. Defra will consider all responses carefully in developing its proposals.
