icWales: MPs may halt hunting compromise
Nick Speed political editor. Plaid Cymru, meanwhile, was fuming at Mr Michael's response to its inquiries into whether there would be a separate registrar and tribunal for Wales when the minister answered it would be "a national body covering England and Wales." Caernarfon MP Hywel Williams claimed that the response showed "a total disregard not only for the National Assembly but for everybody living in Wales."

Guardian: MPs warned against 'wrecking' foxhunting bill
Nicholas Watt, political correspondent. Margaret Beckett, the environment secretary, said that defeat for the government's compromise proposals would jeopardise the entire hunting bill. Gerald Kaufman, a veteran Labour MP and opponent of foxhunting, claims it's procedural blackmail to tell MPs that they either have to let the bill through or risk losing a ban, and that he doesn't believe Margaret Beckett wants to do that.

Guardian: Government hunts for a compromise
Michael White, political editor. If passed by both Houses of Parliament, which are as divided as the wider public, the hunting bill would ban hare coursing and stag-hunting while protecting angling and shooting as well as falconry. Ratting with terrier packs and rabbiting will be allowed under the bill, not least because alternatives such as poisoning and trapping are deemed more cruel. Rats are a threat to people and livestock, ministers point out.

Telegraph: Blair faces revolt over registered foxhunting
George Jones and Charles Clover. Tony Blair was facing open revolt in the Labour Party last night over a compromise proposal to allow foxhunting under certain conditions.

Ratting and rabbiting with dogs would also be allowed.

Leader.
