Devon and Somerset hunting ban fight put on hold.
Attempts to repeal the hunting ban have been put on hold by a Devon and Somerset group which said it believed a parliamentary vote now would be lost.
The master of the Devon and Somerset Staghounds, Diana Scott, said she believed the coalition government would not welcome a repeal
Mrs Scott said: “We haven’t got a Tory government, it’s a coalition and I think the vote would be wrong for us.”
