I rise to support Sian in securing the Adjournment debate on this very important and exceptional topic. The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members. Everyone knows that quote from Gandhi. However, when we consider how we measure up as a society, I am not sure that we score…

I thank the Member for giving way. He raises a very valid point. Should the Bill become law, if a farmer who has a henhouse that had been decimated by a fox were to go in pursuit of that fox, and it were to go on to another farmer's land, he would have to go and ask for consent to go on to that farmer's land. That…

I thank the Member for giving way. All of us in the House should expect clear definitions in a Bill. If a Bill does not contain clear definitions, we are quite within our rights to ask the proposer of that Bill why such things are not clearly defined.

I thank the Member for giving way. May I say that, if the Members opposite had wanted to end traditional hunting with red coats and horses, they could easily have formulated a Bill that stated, "This Bill is about hunting with horses". That would have captured the traditional hunt that, those Members say, they want to…

That is very important. Biodiversity is very important when there is no hierarchy of predator. When animals and mammals out there cannot be eaten or taken by other animals, man must intervene humanely and passionately to dispatch those animals.

I thank the Member for giving way on a good point. We have the penalties here. They include 12 months in prison and fines not exceeding £20,000, which is excessive. Does the Member know whether, if the person, occupier or landowner is guilty of an offence, they could be liable to a £20,000 fine? If that is the case,…

I thank the Member for accepting the intervention. Perhaps he was not in the Chamber when his colleague the Member for Mid Ulster Patsy McGlone raised serious concerns about the provisions for hunting with guns, given that an owner's guns could be confiscated if they were to be investigated for, or charged with, a…

Thank you. Will the Member accept that the scenario that she painted of the cat being ripped apart would mean that she would have to amend the Bill to get protections for pets, as far as I can see? I do not know that a cat would be a wild mammal. Maybe we could get clarification on that, and maybe the Member would be…

Oh, there we go, and the Member has won a small victory there with regard to that. There is no doubt that the Bill will pass this stage. Sinn Féin has made many a U-turn this week. Its position on this is just one of them. Of course, its members will answer for that themselves with their own constituents and in their…

I compliment the Member on his passion. I absolutely do. I like to see passion in the Chamber. I like to have his intervention, and I like the toing and froing, because that is what proper debate is, and that is why I encourage that as we go through the Bill.

I thank the Member for his intervention and for that explanation, but that is all really irrelevant when he talks about hunting with one dog. When you cannot hunt with one dog, the question of whether the Bill mentions "pack" becomes irrelevant. I did not see the word "pack", by the way. I could be wrong, but I have…

The sponsor is explaining it to me, but I am reading his Bill. His Bill says: "In this Part 'hunting a wild mammal' includes searching for and pursuing." It is not about catching and eating or tearing apart; it is about "searching for and pursuing". Those are his own words in his Bill.

Before I commence my contribution, I will say that it is a great honour for a Member to bring a private Member's Bill to the House, and, because of the work that they have had to put in in order to do so, I congratulate anyone and everyone who does. I commend John Blair for his actions and for his work on the Bill, as…
