Hunting
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans she has to introduce a statutory difference between drag hunting using synthetic scents and activities involving animal-based scent trails.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
On 26 March, Defra launched a Consultation on Proposals to Prohibit Trail Hunting in England and Wales seeking views on how to deliver a ban in England and Wales, including on any potential implications for drag hunting. All responses to the consultation will be considered carefully in developing detailed proposals for implementing a ban on trail hunting.
