Hunting With Dogs

HC Deb 22 July 2002 vol 389 c723W

Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the hon. Member for Middlesbrough, representing the Church Commissioners. if the Church of England has contributed to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs consultation on hunting with dogs. [68945]

Mr. Bell

The Church Commissioners have made no contribution to the current DEFRA consultation on hunting with dogs, but I understand that other bodies within the Church of England are looking at this issue from an ethical or theological point of view.
