Member for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey) about this being an important matter, and it is a shame that it...

Debate on the Address — [First Day] (26 Nov 2003)

Debate on the Address — [First Day] (26 Nov 2003)

Mr David Amess: ...was a step forward, but the Government will have to look at the issue again as we need to deal with the suppliers. Is it any wonder that the Queen faltered when she uttered the words "national hunt" rather than "national health"? I suspect that her mind was wandering at that time.

Any number of Members of Parliament have...

Debate on the Address (6 Dec 2000)

Mr David Amess: ...Leader of the Opposition, CHCs are a deeply embarrassing issue for the Prime Minister. The Gracious Speech also states: A Bill will be introduced to enable a free vote to take place on the future of hunting with dogs. Looking round the Opposition Benches, I think that I might be in quite a good position to comment on that measure, as I am one of a rather tidy group of Conservative Members...

Adjournment (Christmas) (16 Dec 1998)

Mr David Amess: ...with great interest. The hon. Member for Tatton (Mr. Bell) is in the Chamber. His arguments for independence were totally unconvincing. Independence is a little like running with the foxes and hunting with the hounds. Both nationally and locally, it is a bit of a cop out. There is one well-established party that those who call themselves independent may join—it is called the Liberal...

Remaining Private Members' Bills: Southend Unitary Authority (28 Nov 1997)

Mr David Amess: .... My hon. Friend the Member for Rochford and Southend, East (Sir T. Taylor) wished to be present to contribute to this short debate, but—although he stayed for the vote on the Wild Mammals (Hunting with Dogs) Bill—he has a surgery at 4.30 and it was impossible for him to stay. He certainly supports my brief remarks. In the last Parliament, he was a great supporter of Southend...
