That this House congratulates the Scottish Parliament on the passage of the first stage of the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Bill; looks forward to taking the earliest possible opportunity to re-affirm its stand on the abolition of hunting; and reminds Her Majesty's Government of the overwhelming support for abolition in the House and the high expectation amongst the electorate that the Government will honour the manifesto pledge to enable Parliament to reach a conclusion on this issue in respect of England and Wales.

After a motion has been tabled, other Members can table amendments to it. Amendments to this motion are shown below.

HUNTING BILL (Amendment 1)
leave out from 'House' to end and insert 'notes that recent opinion polls show that a majority of the British people oppose a ban on hunting and that proposals by the Middle Way Group for licensed hunting are supported by veterinary surgeons, the Public Order Committee of the Association of Chief Police Officers, leading animal welfare academics, lawyers and other objective observers; further notes that the animal welfare aspects of the group's approach have been further strengthened by their proposal to remove the exemptions for hunting from the Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 1996; and commends the Middle Way package as the only one to reflect public and professional opinion, to protect human liberty and to improve animal welfare.'.
