Written Question
Hare Coursing
Wednesday 24th October 2018

Asked by: James Cartlidge (Conservative - South Suffolk)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps his Department is taking to tackle hare coursing.

Answered by Nick Hurd

The police have a range of powers to tackle hare coursing through the game acts and the Hunting Act 2004. My officials have engaged with affected police forces on the issue of hare coursing. However, decisions on how the available powers are used are operational matters for the police.
