Tories pledge to repeal hunting ban
Updated on 18 October 2009
The Tories would use a government bill in government time to overturn the hunting ban, shadow environment secretary Nick Herbert has confirmed.
Mr Herbert said the Hunting Act was an "ass" as it had not saved the life of a single fox and hunt membership had actually increased.
Tory leader David Cameron has described the ban as a "farce" and said he would hold a Commons vote on repealing the act if the Conservatives were elected.
