WHEN Labour came to power far too much parliamentary time was wasted in dealing with the matter of blood sports, while far more important matters were ignored.
Should the Conservatives get into power, then David Cameron’s promise of a free vote over repeal of the Hunting Act will do the same.
But given the present state of Britain there are far more important matters which need parliamentary attention than the weekend hobbies of Tory MPs and their friends.
