Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure that trail hunting on his Department's land complies with the Hunting Act 2004.
To hunt on my Department’s land, an organisation must have a recognised governing body. All persons participating in a hunt must also be members of such an organisation. The organisation must also hold a Ministry of Defence issued licence, the terms of which clearly state that only trail hunting carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Act are permitted.
