Clause 9 - The Registrar
Hunting Bill
10:15 am
Mr Hugo Swire (East Devon, Conservative)
If I may answer the hon. Member for Ynys Môn, there is a fundamental difference. I tabled an early-day motion, which was signed by many of my right hon. and hon. Friends, stating that no Scottish MPs should play a part in the deliberations pertaining to hunting with dogs in England and Wales for a very simple reason: it is a devolved matter. The Scottish Parliament has pronounced on it, so they have nothing to do with the debate in Westminster.
