HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 c1071
Mr. Hayman

I beg to ask leave to present a petition, organised by my constituent, Mrs. Kimber, of Hughville Street, Camborne. The Petition contains 2,000 signatures, mostly collected by Mrs. Kimber personally, and mostly of people living in Camborne, and reads: Wherefore your petitioners, believing that the infliction of suffering on defenceless animals for the purpose of amusement or sport is morally unjustifiable, call upon Her Majesty's Government to promote immediate legislation to prohibit the hunting and coursing of deer, otters, badgers, foxes, hares and rabbits. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever humbly pray.

To lie upon the Table.
