Fox Hunting
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment he has made of the impact on rural communities of the ban on fox hunting; and if he will consider the merits of repealing the ban.
- Answer
-
The Government have no plans to repeal the Hunting Act 2004. Since the ban came into effect, evidence has shown that hunts are continuing to meet and ride within the law and that the dire consequences for rural communities predicted by opponents of the Act have not materialised.
