Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring that any fox or wild animal killed in trail hunting be reported by a hunt and that that data be made accessible to the public, identifying the hunt and the number of animals.

The Hunting Act 2004 makes it an offence to hunt a wild mammal with dogs except where it is carried out in accordance with the exemptions in the Act. The Government will not amend the Hunting Act 2004.

Those found guilty under the Act are subject to the full force of the law, and enforcement is an operational matter for the police.
