What written representations has the Welsh Government made to the UK Government in its consultation on the proposal to ban trail hunting in England and Wales?
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Rural Resilience and Sustainability | Answered on 19/06/2026
Defra’s consultation on Proposals to Prohibit Trail Hunting in England and Wales opened on 26 March and closes on 18 June. No written representations have been made by this or the previous government however my officials are in regular contact with those in Defra on this issue. I look forward to reviewing the outcome of the consultation and Defra’s proposals to legislate.
