Hunting With Dogs On Ministry Of Defence Land

EDM number 867 in 2002-03, proposed by Bob Russell on 11/03/2003.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
