Hunting Bill: New Clause 13 — Registered Hunting: Absolute Bans: Deer, Hares, Foxes and Terrierwork (30 Jun 2003)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...has taken the trouble to visit Exmoor. Is he as concerned as I am that when I questioned the Minister on Second Reading about what analysis he had made of the impact on Exmoor of the ban on stag hunting, it was clear that he had made no analysis of the eventual demise of the deer herds there?

Hunting Bill: New Clause 13 — Registered Hunting: Absolute Bans: Deer, Hares, Foxes and Terrierwork (30 Jun 2003)

Mrs Angela Browning: The Minister mentioned the banning of mink hunting, but alluded to the need for some control on the ground of pest control. Exactly what will those methods be? Will they involve trapping and shooting, or will he advocate other methods?

Hunting Bill (16 Dec 2002)

Mrs Angela Browning: The Minister will be aware from the report sent to him by the Exmoor national park authority, in response to his consultation, that it believes that a ban on deer hunting on Exmoor threatens the sustainability of the wild deer herd. In reaching his decision on deer hunting, what do his calculations suggest will be the long-term life of that wild deer herd if he bans hunting on Exmoor?

Hunting With Dogs (18 Mar 2002)

Mrs Angela Browning: The Burns report clearly said that the abolition of hunting would have an impact in some parts of the country, and my constituency, with its six hunts, would be just such an area. In July 2000, The Mid Devon Gazette showed from a four-week survey in my constituency that 69.32 per cent. of the population wanted to retain hunting. That shows how important hunting is not just to huntsmen, but to...

Election Publications Bill [Lords] (4 Apr 2001)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...to a pensioner and then a mother with a young child. Suddenly we had a phone call from Mike of Warwickshire. He was apparently a constituent from Warwickshire who phoned in to ask my views on the Hunting Bill and how I intended to vote. I do not know who Mike from Warwickshire was, but when the Minister rose to make his intervention the word "prat", which went through my mind at the time,...

Business of the House (15 Mar 2001)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...;planned retarding the Government's proposed cross-party Committee to consider the proceedings of the upper House? The House will be aware that the other place dealt with the Second Reading of the Hunting Bill this week. The Government made an extraordinary proposal: they tabled a procedure motion in the other place to allow only amendments approved by the Government to be debated. That is...

Business of the House (18 Jan 2001)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...time for a debate on this important matter. Finally, will the Leader of the House note that no fewer than 43 MPs representing Scottish constituencies voted in the third Division after the hunting debate last night? The vote was on banning hunting in England and Wales, and 37 of those hon. Members supported that ban. I hope that the right hon. Lady will find Government time to complete the...

Business of the House (11 Jan 2001)

Mrs Angela Browning: I thank the right hon. Lady for announcing the business, but I regret that the Government have not listened to the Opposition's requests about the Committee stage of the Hunting Bill, the first part of which will be taken on the Floor of the House. That debate will still be restricted to one day, which we consider to be entirely inadequate. The Leader of the House did not mention Tuesday 23...

Business of the House (21 Dec 2000)

Mrs Angela Browning: I thank the Leader of the House. Following the Second Reading and programme motion on the Hunting Bill yesterday, there will be just one day of Committee on the Floor of the House for consideration of the Bill. Is she able to tell us the date on which that will take place? Many Members will want to clear their diaries so that they can participate in that important debate. May we have a...

Business of the House (14 Dec 2000)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...for giving us the business for next week. I wish to make two comments about it. First, the Second Reading of the Vehicles (Crime) Bill is scheduled for Monday whereas the Second Reading of the Hunting Bill will be on Wednesday. That will cause a great deal of inconvenience to Members who had hoped to attend the House to hear the Hunting Bill debated on Monday. I hope that the right hon....

Orders of the Day — The Economy (13 Dec 2000)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...and especially in mine, which has a high population of elderly people who are prudent and cautious. On the subject of prudence, what a marvellous service my right hon. Friend the Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Major) rendered the House by exposing the fact that Prudence is a fallen woman. We shall all remember his words, and it is up to the Chancellor to save Prudence and restore her...

House of Commons Modernisation (20 Nov 2000)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...' interests to be here on a Friday, I have been here. In the previous Parliament, I defied my party Whips when we debated a private Member's Bill on disability issues. I was here for a debate on hunting and for another debate on the ordination of women to the Church of England. There have been occasions when it was clearly appropriate for me to put the business of the House before my...

Orders of the Day — Welfare Reform and Pensions Bill: Optional Work-Focused Interviews (17 May 1999)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...way; the work is very specialised. In the previous Parliament, when I was Parliamentary Private Secretary at the Department of Employment, I took part, with the then Secretary of State, now Lord Hunt, in a pilot scheme co-funded by the Department of Employment—the supported employment scheme in London for people on the higher functioning end of the autistic spectrum. There was some...

Petition: British Hostages (Chechnya) (25 Mar 1999)

Mrs Angela Browning: ...Dispatch Box to tell us that the Government had no prior knowledge of a rescue attempt. I want the Minister to take my remarks in the spirit in which they are offered, because this is not a witch hunt or an attempt to put him on the spot. The interfax that came out of Moscow was received by the BBC listening service at Caversham near Reading on the Sunday morning and conveyed to the...

New clause 1: Fox CONTROL IN NATIONAL PARKS (6 Mar 1998)

Mrs Angela Browning: I agree with the hon. Lady. Does she agree that on average a mink hunt—I have one in my constituency—will, in a season, cover some 800 sq km and that the equivalent in terms of trapping costs alone would be about £200,000?
