MP supports hunt ban while opponent joins protest
WHILE Hastings MP Michael Foster showed support for Wednesday's ban on hunting with dogs, Conservative candidate Mark Coote joined the protest at Parliament Square.
MPs voted to ban hunting with dogs despite mass demonstrations and the House of Commons being disrupted by protesters.
Mr Foster said: "The vote was overwhelmingly in favour of a ban, and it did not surprise me. I was delighted."
