Sir John Randall
One thing that I have found is that legitimate shooting interests in this country and elsewhere in Europe regard what goes on in Malta as not part of their sport. I will go on to say more on that. I am in no way anti-shooting, whether in the UK or elsewhere, if it is legitimate.
Simon Kirby (Brighton, Kemptown) (Con)
Does my right hon. Friend agree with many of my constituents, who do not understand why this barbaric practice is still going on in the 21st century?
