Edward Morello
Liberal Democrat, West Dorset
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what support his Department is providing for farmers impacted by the Bluetongue virus.
Daniel Zeichner
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
This is a devolved matter, and the information provided therefore relates to England and Wales only.
This Government recognises the importance of tackling rural crimes such as Hare Coursing.
The previous Government made changes to address illegal hare coursing through a package of measures in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. This broadened the circumstances in which police can investigate and bring charges for hare coursing related activity.
Enforcement of the law is a matter for the police. This is in line with their duties to keep the peace and protect communities.
