I completely agree with Simon Hart, the chief executive of the Countryside Alliance when he says that the government have more important issues to consider than a ban on hunting with hounds.

The government should stop wasting time debating the issue, as Simon Birch says it is not a priority.

The parliament act should be used to ban hunting immediately so that our MPs can get on with other important work and not waste any more time on this low priority issue.
