Question
Will the Minister provide an update on the Welsh Government's position on fox hunting in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Fox hunting is a non-devolved issue and is a matter for the UK Government. However, the Welsh Government's position is we strongly oppose any amendment to, or revocation of, the Hunting Act and we support the strengthening of its provisions to tackle deficiencies in the law originally designed to prevent unnecessary and cruel hunting.
