The DEFRA website has this:
Hunting Act

The Hunting Act 2004, which came into force on 18 February 2005, prohibits all hunting of wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales, except where it is carried out in accordance with the conditions of one of the exemptions set out in the Act. It also bans all hare coursing.

1995
Another Labour MP, John McFall attempts to ban Hunting with dogs in his private members bill. At the same time, Kevin McNamara's bill passes the second reading, but does not pass the Lords.

Michael Foster was my lecturer at Worcester Technical College before he became an MP.

One of my favourite books - some of the people on other boards could do with taking a peek - as it's about friendship and compassion
