Orders of the Day — Hunting Bill (18 Nov 2004)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: The Minister is not being unreasonable with the House this afternoon, even to those of us who fundamentally disagree with the Bill and who are 100 per cent. in support of hunting. He is advancing a number of propositions, but is he prepared to advocate from the Government Front Bench that Labour Members should vote for 31 July 2007?—[Interruption.] I am not saying that he is mandating...

New Clause 1: Disposal of Fallen Stock (27 Feb 2001)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: I am following the hon. Gentleman's argument closely. He and I differ on whether it is moral to hunt with hounds, but that is irrelevant as the argument that he puts forward is sound. Will he help the House by telling us his views on the alternative to hunt kennels taking fallen stock? How does he believe we should deal with the matter?

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

Mr Nicholas Winterton: My right hon. and learned Friend has drawn attention to the nonsense of permitting hunting merely in national parks. While they are running, hounds are no observers of whether or not the land over which they are running is in a national park. In addition, the boundaries of individual farms do not coincide with national park boundaries. Is it right that lambs and sheep in a national park...

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

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...am sorry, I meant the hon. Lady. I am grateful to the hon. Lady, the Member for Vauxhall (Kate Hoey), for giving way to me. Will she confirm that the overwhelming majority of people involved in fox hunting, whether they hunt to eradicate a pest or for sport, fully support regulations on terrier work? That includes the Masters of Fox Hounds Association. They all want to eradicate what,...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Maritime Patrol Aircraft (2 Apr 1996)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...accept that the majority of the goods, products and services purchased with this particular project will come from the United Kingdom, including the majority of the technology from GEC Marconi and Hunting Aviation, which will do a great deal of the work, manufacture and assembly—and which includes the important firm of Baxter, Woodhouse and Taylor from Poynton in my constituency,...

Orders of the Day — Dogs (Fouling of Land) Bill: Land to Which Act Applies (22 Mar 1996)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: I know that my hon. Friend is interested in hunting and in all sporting activities. He has referred to villages in which meets take place. Such meets are often centred around public houses that are close to village greens. When there is a gathering of 15 couple or 20 couple of hounds and many horses and ponies, inevitably there will be quite a few deposits. I wonder how such meets would be...

Orders of the Day — Dogs (Fouling of Land) Bill: Land to Which Act Applies (22 Mar 1996)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: Will my hon. Friend assure me that he will look sympathetically on an amendment or an addition to what he has said, to include working dogs, gundogs, working terriers and hounds, whether they are hunting in the normal way or hounds involved in a drag hunt? I am confused by the Bill. I know what my hon. Friend is seeking to do—and overall I support him—but does he believe that...

Orders of the Day — Youth and Community Bill (9 Nov 1979)

Mr Nicholas Winterton: ...want to foster. I am also president of the Macclesfield Fermain Club, which started as the Macclesfield boys' club. It is part of a federation with which my hon. Friend the Member for Wirral (Mr. Hunt) is involved. I have with me the annual report of the Cheshire Association of Boys' Clubs and the Cheshire and Wirral Association of Boys' Clubs. One hundred and twenty clubs make up this...
