Part of Hunting Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 10:30 am on 25 January 2001.
The hon. Gentleman has said that hunting with hounds contributes to controlling mink, but paragraph 5.121 of the Burns report states that:
hunting does not have any significant effect on the mink population at a national or regional level.
Burns is clear on that point. Does the hon. Gentleman disagree with it?
