Good news for the Hunting Act

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’. The government had planned to amend the Act via a Statutory Instrument, which would have amounted to a repeal of the hunting ban. There is still a chance that this government will allow a free vote on whether the Hunting Act should be repealed but, for now, the Hunting Act is safe.

Thank you to everyone who lobbied their MPs and the Prime Minister.
