Re: PC 2: The Hunting Act
During the ongoing debate on the Hunting Act in the House, the Health Secretary argued that passage would have no impact on rural communities, citing the Burns Committee's finding that, "the economic effect of a ban on hunting would be unlikely to be substantial." That seems like compellin...

Re: Hunting Act 2001
Madam Speaker, I appreciate the statement made by the Secretary of State for Health, and despite all of the accusations she has made against me and my party as to our motives for providing robust opposition to this legislation, I am going to take her arguments seriously and respond to them point by ...

Re: Hunting Act 2001
Madam Speaker, Comparing ethical sport hunting, to the barbaric practice of forcing animals to fight against one another for aimless pleasure, is a massive insult to rural communities across the country and increasingly typical of an out of touch Labour Government. As I said previously, the Burns Co...

Re: PC 1: Tony's Cronies
I find it very interesting that Labour MPs seem willing to talk about everything other than the matter at hand: how they plan on voting on the Opposition's Motion. The Labour Party is more than willing to make allegations of cronyism in the last Conservative Government, ignoring the fact that they ...

Re: Hunting Act 2001
Madam Speaker, I find it interesting that the Member for Ellesmere Port and Nelson has seized on one issue I've raised, how this legislation will impact the farming community's ability to keep pests off their land, and ran with it on the assumption that it is the core of my argument. In fact, Madam ...

Re: PC 2: The Hunting Act
To compare the celebrated British tradition of hunting, a sport that men and women alike partake in, to women being forced to give up their jobs is a disgusting attempt to divert the public away from the real issue at hand. What this Government is attempting to do, and what Dr. MacAndrews callously ...

Re: PC 1: Tony's Cronies
I commend my friend and colleague Evelyn Redgrave for the speech she has made in the Commons, calling out the blatant cronyism and insideious political patronage that has become the norm within this Labour Government. Those appointed to public office, whose salaries are financed by the taxpayer, sho...

Re: Hunting Act 2001
Madam Speaker, I rise this morning to stand in opposition to the Government's legislation, and to acknowledge this act for what it is: a direct attack on the freedoms and civil liberties of every British person. Before I discuss the Government's blatant disregard for the individual rights of British...

Re: PC 2: The Hunting Act
I am proud to confirm that, when the debate begins in the House on the Government's proposals to outlaw hunting with dogs, I will be staunchly opposing the legislation. This matter is bigger than just the issue of hunting, but speaks directly to this Government's tendency to undermine the rights of ...
