Trail hunting: Conservative Shropshire MP polls residents on proposed ban and criticises Labour's plans
A Shropshire MP has launched a survey to inform his response to the Government's plan to ban trail hunting in England and Wales.
South Shropshire MP Stuart Anderson has called Labour's proposal to ban the practice “yet another attack” on the countryside.
The Government has announced it is planning to ban trail hunting, in which an artificial scent is laid ahead of time for hounds and riders to follow.
Mr Anderson said research from the Countryside Alliance has consistently shown that the public rates hunting below nearly every other current issue in terms of political priorities.
