HUNTING BILL IN AUTUMN
MPs will be asked to vote on a series of options including an outright ban. If, as seems likely, the Commons votes to outlaw hunting, progress is likely to be stifled in the pro-hunt House of Lords. It then remains to be seen whether New Labour will invoke the Parliament Act, allowing it to overrule the upper chamber.

Following
publication of its enquiry into the impact of hunting on rural life, the government
has announced its intention to introduce its own Bill on hunting with hounds
in the autumn.
Please write to your MP, asking him/her to vote for an outright ban when the
new Bill is presented.
