Hunting
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Gardiner of Kimble on 8 December (HL3602), whether local Police and Crime Commissioners have any role to play in the enforcement of the Hunting Act 2004; and if so, what is that role.
- Answer
-
It is an operational decision for individual Chief Constables to determine how their resources are deployed and it is for locally elected Police and Crime Commissioners to hold their forces to account, including on how they tackle the crimes that matter most to residents and businesses in rural and urban areas alike.
The election of Police and Crime Commissioners has given communities - including those in rural areas - a strong voice in determining how police resources are allocated to tackle the crimes that matter most to them.
