HC Deb 13 March 1998 vol 308 c850 9.36 am
Mr. Bob Russell (Colchester)

I am pleased to present a petition signed by 3,361 residents of Colchester and district, and further afield.

The petition declares: the hunting of wild mammals with dogs is cruel and unnecessary, and has no place in modern Britain. The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons approve legislation to ban hunting with dogs as soon as possible in the lifetime of this Parliament. And the Petitioners remain etc.

To lie upon the Table.
