Fox Hunting

Asked if the Prime Minister would support the Hunting Bill if it returned with amendments similar to the Alun Michael style Bill the PMOS said the that the Prime Minister had always supported a compromise as outlined in Alun Michael’s approach. So, assuming there was a suitable amendment the Prime Minister would be voting for restitution of the Alun Michael amendment. Asked which version of the amendment that was the PMOS said that the Prime Minister would judge the amendment as it was and assuming it reflected the Alun Michael amendment the Prime Minister would vote for it. The vote remained a free vote. Asked why he was indicating the Prime Minister’s voting intention, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister believed it was right to indicate his degree of support for the compromise.
