Mr Alun Michael (Minister of State (Rural Affairs), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Cardiff South and Penarth, Labour/Co-operative)
It is in order that there should be a record of who is hunting in reliance of registration on a particular occasion. If there were a question about whether any activity met the requirements of the law, it would be known precisely who was involved and who was being supervised, otherwise there would be no indication of who the individuals involved in the activity as unregistered hunters were and what reliance they were placing on being within the boundaries of the legislation.
