Schedule 3 - Hunting with Dogs: Prohibition
Hunting Bill
10:45 am
Mrs Jackie Lawrence (Preseli Pembrokeshire, Labour)
Does the hon. Gentleman accept that it is not the dog that would be prosecuted, but the owner? Does he also accept that, according to the definition in the ``Oxford English Dictionary'', the word ``hunt'' is proactive? The synonyms are ``pursue'', ``seek'', ``chase'', ``track'', ``follow'' and ``go after'', and in those terms hunting is defined.
