European Union (Withdrawal) Act

"Let me begin by addressing the issue of our divided country, which is repeatedly emphasised by commentators. I disagree—people are totally united.

Written Question
Hare Coursing
Tuesday 9th October 2018

Asked by: Heidi Allen (Liberal Democrat - South Cambridgeshire)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, pursuant to the Answer of 28 February 2018 to Question 129098, how many reports of hare coursing were received in each year since 2014; and how many (a) prosecutions and (b) convictions there have been relating to hare coursing in 2018 to date.

Answered by Robert Buckland

Offences of hare coursing may be prosecuted using offences created by the Game Act 1831, the Night Poaching Act 1828 and the Hunting Act 2004.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold any record of the number of reports of hare coursing offences made to the police.

The CPS does not maintain a central record of the number of prosecutions for offences of hare coursing. This information could only be obtained by examining CPS case files, which would incur disproportionate cost.

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

"I shall try to be brief, Mr Speaker.

I want to touch on three amendments. The first relates to the customs union or customs agreement. Since the referendum, I have always said that I am not wedded to the customs union. I do not care what it is called as …..."
