The Prime Minister has confirmed that the Hunting Act will not now be changed to allow more than two dogs to ‘flush out’ foxes.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Angela Smith MP asked David Cameron to quash or confirm rumours about the proposal and he replied: ‘I regret to say I don’t think there’ll be government agreement to go forward’.
