Defra followed normal practice for developing the Hunting Act 2004 (Exempt Hunting) (Amendment) Order 2015. Defra has received representations from a number of organisations about the repeal of the Hunting Act 2004. It received no representations from the Countryside Alliance on the Hunting Act 2004 (Exempt Hunting) (Amendment) Order 2015 prior to its publication.
