David Hanson: As the hon. Member for South-West Surrey (Mr. Hunt) pointed out, this has been a very full debate on a range of issues, and I recognise the strength of feeling surrounding the context of the legislation.

Oral Answers to Questions — Wales: Farming (13 Dec 2000)

Mr David Hanson: I take it that the hon. Gentleman is referring to the Hunting Bill. I am sure that he would not wish the Government to renege on their manifesto commitments. We have agreed to allow Members of Parliament a free vote on the Bill. I represent a rural area and there is a fox hunt in my constituency. I know what I am going to do on the day, and I trust that other hon. Members will do the same.

Labour...

Mr David Hanson: ...success. The caricature of town versus country exemplified by Sunday's march is unproductive and unhelpful. I hope that Sunday's march helps us to focus not only on those who want preserve fox hunting, of whom I am not one, or members of the Conservative party, of whom I am not one, but on the real issues of rural Britain and the positive things that can be done. In the spirit of...

Listening to the Countryside (3 Mar 1998)

Mr David Hanson: ...owe my rural constituents an apology for the misery that they put them through. In the short time remaining, I should like some discussion of how to address those issues—not only fox hunting and the others mentioned by Conservative Members. There are three broad objectives: economic renewal, protection and enhancement of the environment, and social renewal.
