HUNTING WITH DOGS ON MINISTRY OF DEFENCE LAND

Motion Text

That this House notes the overwhelming vote in favour of a ban on the hunting of animals with dogs; deplores the decision to allow hunting to take place on Ministry of Defence land through the granting of 27 licences in different parts of the country; believes that there is no justification for publicly-owned land to be used for this activity; welcomes the cancellation of a hunt planned for MoD land at the Colchester Garrison; and calls on the Government to ensure that all licences on MoD land are not renewed.
