Clause 8 - Tests for registration:
Hunting Bill

Mr James Gray (North Wiltshire, Conservative)
I have not shot myself in the foot. My point is that 2,717 foxes were indiscriminately culled. The 2,717 foxes included all foxes, whether or not they were pests. Wildlife Management Ltd. says that it is
''rightly confident in success on all occasions, due to the fact that we have an enviable 100 per cent. success rate in this field.''
In other words, it has removed every fox from the London borough of Wandsworth. It is not wildlife management or successful culling; it is obliterating them all, which is precisely what we have warned the Minister will happen if he abolishes foxhunting.
