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 bring forward proposals to strengthen penalties for those in breach of the Hunting Act 2004.
This question was answered on 30th June 2017
Under the Hunting Act 2004, an individual can receive an unlimited fine if found guilty of illegal hunting. Sentencing and the level of fine imposed if a person is found guilty is a matter for the courts.
The Government has no plans to strengthen these penalties.
