Schedule 1 - Exempt Hunting
Hunting (Re-committed) Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Michael Foster (Worcester, Labour)
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way. I hope that his next response to me is a little more temperate than the last.
What is the difference between new clause 7 and paragraph 7(2) of schedule 1, which says that an exemption to the prohibition of hunting is that the
''hunter reasonably believes that the wild mammal is or may be injured''?
The schedule makes it possible to use dogs to locate an injured animal. What is the difference between that paragraph, which is part of the Bill, and new clause 7, which the hon. Gentleman is promoting?
