Driven Grouse Shooting

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 31 October 2016. It occurred during e-petition debate on Driven Grouse Shooting.

I am hesitant to interrupt such a superb speech, but my hon. Friend mentioned that one of the petitions used the word “canned”, which is surely extremely ignorant and misleading, because the birds are completely wild. Does he agree that there is no logic whatever in saying that driven grouse shooting should be somehow controlled, but that other forms of grouse shooting should not be? There is no logic there, because we are talking about a wild bird, not one that can be reared.
