Hunting Bill

I appreciate that point, but we will consider the issue of what is or is not dealt with under the Bill when we reach the relevant clauses. My point is that if an activity is caught under the Bill, the trials to which a number of hon. Members have referred would be subject to controls. If the Bill does not cover an animal, the trials will not be subject to controls. There is no doubt about the situation on trials.
