Question

Whether they will consider, at an early date, issuing licences to permit the training of puppies in the Lake District, bred and kept solely for the sport of hound trailing (which is not a blood sport), where the trail is no more than a mile in length and confined to only one agricultural holding, on no more than seven sites on a regional basis around that area of Cumbria where hound trailing is an historic activity. [HL 1679].
