Pro-hunt campaigners fail in NT council bid


PRO-HUNT campaigners have failed to get any places on the National Trust Council.

The hunt lobbyists had put forward seven candidates campaigning to overturn a two-year ban on stag hunting on Trust land.

Charles Collins, organiser of the Friends of the National Trust, was critical of the way that every person elected was an existing member of the council.

He said that the discretionary voting of the Trust chairman, Charles Nunneley, should not be kept secret.
