That this House condemns the Liberal Democrats for their hypocrisy and disunity over hunting and animal welfare issues; notes that on 19 April 1994 a Labour Party motion to Cornwall County Council which said 'this council expresses its total opposition to fox hunting, stag hunting and hare coursing and calls on this Government to legislate nationally to impose a ban on such activities' was passed by 37 votes to 25, despite 11 Liberal Democrat councillors, including the Leader, Councillor Mannell, voting against it; further notes that Liberal Democrat honourable Members opposed a Labour motion to prevent badger-baiting, in parliament on 12th April 1994; recalls that 19 of the 41 Liberal Democrat councillors on Devon County Council opposed a ban on hunting in January 1994; is amazed by these actions, considering that the Liberal Democrats last election manifesto stated that they opposed hunting and badger-baiting; and calls for the Liberal Democrats to clearly state whether or not they oppose hunting, badger-baiting and cruelty to animals.

That this House notes that Schedule 1 to the Deer Act 1991 provides a close season for roe deer, from 1st November to 31st March, inclusive, for the buck, and from 1st March to 31st October inclusive for the doe; further notes that the deer rut takes place in July and August, with kids being born in the following May; further notes that bucks are strongly territorial over the period May to August, during which time family units are built up and thus concludes that this Act affords no protection to the buck roe deer, allowing stress, injury and possible death to whole family units; notes the conclusions of the Forestry Commission Bulletin 105, Roe Deer Biology and Management, by P. R. Ratcliffe and B. A. Mayle, (HMSO 1992), that culling levels aimed at preventing population increases have been set mistakenly high and the levels of juvenile mortality under-estimated; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to review the relevant provisions of the Deer Act 1991 as soon as possible.
