Cyprus (10 Nov 2009)

Andrew Dismore: ...teams have exhumed 570 sets of remains from both sides of the green line and returned the remains of 179 people to their families—135 Greek Cypriots and 44 Turkish Cypriots. They are perennially in the hunt for money, requiring between €2.2 million and €2.4 million a year to function. The EU has just given the teams €2 million for the next two years, but they are...

Business of the House: Points-Based Immigration System (24 Apr 2008) has video

Andrew Dismore: ...kitchens and bars. The problems are evidenced by the fact that the cost of staffing has increased. I am told that in the past six months alone wages have gone up by between 30 and 35 per cent. Head-hunting and poaching are becoming real problems as people try to find staff from an ever-diminishing work force. Families are being called in to help. Children's education is being affected, as...

Orders of the Day: Animals Act 1971 (Amendment) Bill (14 Mar 2008) has video

Andrew Dismore: ...hon. Friend mentions, a claim might well be found in negligence, but certainly not according to the criteria of proposed new section 2B. There might well be liability through different routes if a hunt chased wildly through a residential road and injured somebody, as that would be a negligent thing to do. However, there would not be strict liability, because galloping is natural for...

Orders of the Day: Animals Act 1971 (Amendment) Bill (14 Mar 2008) has video

Andrew Dismore: If it were a wild horse, it would probably come under section 2(1) of the 1971 Act. However, a horse in a hunt is a domestic horse, whose natural characteristic is to gallop. At the risk of being taken down a peculiar byway, I should say that my hon. Friend would find the same outcome; anyone injured in such circumstances would probably be compensated under the law of negligence. Such a case...

Orders of the Day: Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill (18 Jul 2007)

Andrew Dismore: ...side, I have to say that the real issue that we are talking about is the timetable. Like others, I am concerned about the timetable, but giving a date is at least a starting point. I saw that Lord Hunt, speaking on behalf of the Opposition in the other place, agreed with me that "naming the day is more important than the specific date." I therefore hope that the Opposition will not resile...

Orders of the Day: Clause 2 — Meaning of "relevant duty of care" (16 May 2007)

Andrew Dismore: ...;given some of the problems that it is experiencing. Some might say that that makes it even more important that the law comes into effect more promptly. However, if our intention is not to witch-hunt but to put right the Prison Service and stop such deaths, which is the purpose of the Bill, it is important that the ombudsman has a statutory footing and is able to investigate and make...

Orders of the Day — Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill (2 Dec 2005)

Andrew Dismore: ...enter a place legally can become trespassers if they do something outside the extent of that authority. An example cited under the Game Act 1831 is of someone who had permission to go on to land to hunt for rabbits, but then started hunting hares. It might be splitting hairs to raise the case, but such evidence of trespass under the Game Act 1831 would presumably be evidence of trespass...

Wild Mammals (Protection) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (6 Feb 2004)

Mr Andrew Dismore: I happily give way to my hon. Friend, who takes a real interest in these issues and has campaigned long and hard for a total ban on fox hunting, as have I.

Wild Mammals (Protection) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (6 Feb 2004)

Mr Andrew Dismore: I entirely agree with everything that my hon. Friend says. The clear object of the Bill is to permit hunting with dogs to continue. It is identical to one that received its Second Reading in the other place on 16 January. The word "hunting" was mentioned 25 times during the half-hour Second Reading debate—more often than the words "welfare" and "cruelty". Among the speakers in the...

Wild Mammals (Protection) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (6 Feb 2004)

Mr Andrew Dismore: No, the hon. Gentleman has had his time. It is clear that the will of the House is that hunting with dogs should be banned. We have voted nine times since 1995 for a total ban on hunting. As the Bill is about hunting, we should measure it against the aspirations of the whole elected House. The hon. Gentleman claims that more than 40 hon. Members support his approach, but where are they today?...

Wild Mammals (Protection) (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (6 Feb 2004)

Mr Andrew Dismore: The hon. Gentleman has started his speech by discussing hunting, and all the publicity that he has put out about his Bill concerns that issue. However, the Bill's phrasing would bring shooting under scrutiny as well. Can he confirm whether that is his intention?

Orders of the Day — Private Hire Vehicles (Carriage of Guide Dogs etc.) Bill: New Clause 1 — Damage by assistance dog (19 Jul 2002)

Mr Andrew Dismore: When we considered hunting with dogs, the definition caused problems. Amendment No. 10 does not go as far as amendment No. 2, but I believe that it should be accepted. The RNIB brief states that a properly trained assistance dog is required to sit on the floor between the owner's legs or lie down in the well of a cab. However, what happens if the dog is too big for the vehicle or if the...

Marine Wildlife Conservation Bill: New Clause 2 — Installation of boundary markers (15 Mar 2002)

Mr Andrew Dismore: ...has been represented throughout history, including on ancient Greek coins. It is one of the largest seals in the world, but its rate of reproduction is very slow. Until recently, the monk seal was hunted intensively for its fur and skin, and fishermen who worried about its stealing food from their nets also used to bump it off. It is important to note that, since the marine park's...

Orders of the Day — Wild Mammals (Hunting With Dogs) Bill (7 Apr 2000)

Mr Andrew Dismore: All sorts of theories have been put forward as to why I moved the motion to enable us to move on to this debate. The answer is pure and simple and there is no hidden conspiracy. I want fox hunting to be banned as much as my hon. Friend does and as much as hundreds and thousands of my constituents do. That is why I moved the motion; there was no hidden agenda.
