Ireland Online: UK MPs vote for ban on fox-hunting
Almost certainly the bill cannot be forced through the Lords against their wishes because it was changed fundamentally in the way it was first presented to MPs. Mr Michael warned MPs tonight that it would be "extremely difficult" with an amended bill to invoke the Parliament Act, the device usually used to ignore the wishes of the Lords.

Caernarfon MP Hywel Williams claimed that the response showed "a total disregard not only for the National Assembly but for everybody living in Wales."

Peter Morrell, The Western Mail. How has it come to this? Parliament should only limit the rights of a minority if there is conclusive evidence that such action would be in the clear public interest. No such case for a hunting ban has been made.

icWales: `Legislate on principle not on prejudice'
Leader from The Western Mail. The Minister for Rural Affairs, Alun Michael, has yet to produce evidence in any degree of the "incontrovertible evidence" of deer and competitive hare coursing not meeting such set criteria. Such alleged incontrovertible evidence was not published in the Government's own inquiry into hunting - the Burns Inquiry. If such damning "incontrovert-ible evidence" were so clear, then experts would produce it and agree on it - they have not.

Western Mail: Hunting ban `is a rural disaster'
The year-old ban on fox hunting in Scotland has cost jobs, lost tourism business, has become a legal minefield for farmers, and has adversely affected fox welfare. Before the law, the fit fox more often than not always got away and it was the infirm or old fox who was caught. Now the law requires that all flushed foxes must be shot regardless of age or fitness.
