There is to be an early day motion and I have been asked to
sign it. As a principle I never sign early day motions as they very rarely
achieve anything whilst at the same time running up costs to the tax payer.
However that is not to say I do not have sympathy with your concerns.
In recent times trophy hunters have come under significant
scrutiny in social media and other platforms. There is clearly a growing sense
of disquiet of certain aspects of this “sport”.
Whilst I am at heart against the banning of things I believe
legislation around trophy hunting and returning to the UK with trophy hunting
specimens could be looked at further and whilst there are already import
restrictions in place it might be possible to do more. Of course once we
leave the EU we will be free to make our own laws again and that will serve
this cause and the nation very well on all manner of matters.
