Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Regulatory Reform (Game) Order 2007.


Regulatory Reform (Game) Order 2007

No, it is not possible to shoot on a Sunday, although there are some quirks in relation to this. During my year at the Northern Ireland Office, some of the situations there were explained to me. It is quite surprising what you can and cannot do on a Sunday. Some things can be shot but I do not remember the classifications and I am not going to guess them. As I said, the issue was raised in the consultation and there was feedback, both for and against, but it was too controversial for an order of this nature. Therefore, if there were a procedure on this, it would probably have to be done by primary legislation.
