Schedule 3 - Hunting with Dogs: Prohibition
Hunting Bill
3:45 pm
Mr Edward Leigh (Gainsborough, Conservative)
We are returning to the debate that we had a few minutes ago. I conceded that the Minister does not wish the Crown Prosecution Service to bring such a prosecution, but, given the stance of the League Against Cruel Sports against organised shooting, it is possible that a test case will be brought against a gamekeeper. The Minister cannot wash his hands of the situation like Pontius Pilate and say that it will not happen.
