Walker570 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Good article in the Telegraph this morning where Lord Botham writes about the RSPB trying to hide their efforts to control foxes in Northern Ireland and advocating hunting any wounded foxes with fogs.... a good read.ย No doubt Lord Botham has been a great asset for the shooting community in the Lords.

He is a great ambassador for all field sports and continues to support many charities.ย OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 What few have said is that as a Peer any such, Lord Botham included, can as of right requite an answer to any question from the relevant Minister in the House of Lords. Be that the Home Office Minister, the Environment Minister and all. That is a very very powerful right. And it rests with Lord Botham a proven friend of shooting. Mind it also rests with Lord Goldsmith! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
