David Cameron backs fox hunting revote

Parliament should vote again over whether to ban fox hunting, Conservative leader David Cameron said.

Asked on his blog, webcameron, whether the Conservatives would make fox hunting legal, Mr Cameron said that the fact it was illegal but still went ahead made the law “look ridiculous.”

“Parliament should have another vote,” Mr Cameron said.

“Personally I support the freedom to hunt. I represent a rural constituency and my personal view is this is somewhere the criminal law shouldn’t go.”
