Clause 9 - The Registrar
Hunting Bill
8:55 am
Hon. Nicholas Soames (Mid Sussex, Conservative)
Although I recognise the very great force of the hon. Gentleman's argument about utility and the fact that farmers group together to hunt the fox in very difficult and often hostile territory, hunting is also a great social bond in the community. He should not resile from the fact that hunting foxes in that way is great fun, as well as being very useful.
