05/11/20 Hare coursing, Agriculture Bill passes with concessions, Nature Recovery Network

Farming Today

The penalties for hare coursing should be tougher and include culprits losing their dogs, say rural groups and the police. MPs have again backed the Agriculture Bill in the House of Commons, rejecting amendments from the House of Lords which would have given legal protection to food standards in future trade deals. This follows ministersโ€™ decision to put the Trade and Agriculture Commission on a permanent statutory footing, allowing it to report to Parliament on trade deals. Today Natural England is unveiling the Nature Recovery Network Delivery Partnership which it says will be โ€˜the biggest ever nationwide initiative to restore wildlife in Englandโ€™. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
