That this House notes that Schedule 1 to the Deer Act 1991 provides a close season for roe deer, from 1st November to 31st March, inclusive, for the buck, and from 1st March to 31st October inclusive for the doe; further notes that the deer rut takes place in July and August, with kids being born in the following May; further notes that bucks are strongly territorial over the period May to August, during which time family units are built up and thus concludes that this Act affords no protection to the buck roe deer, allowing stress, injury and possible death to whole family units; notes the conclusions of the Forestry Commission Bulletin 105, Roe Deer Biology and Management, by P. R. Ratcliffe and B. A. Mayle, (HMSO 1992), that culling levels aimed at preventing population increases have been set mistakenly high and the levels of juvenile mortality under-estimated; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to review the relevant provisions of the Deer Act 1991 as soon as possible.

That this House deeply regrets the failure of the National Trust's ruling council to confirm the ban on deer hunting demanded by its membership; believes that deer hunting and all other killing of animals for pleasure to be barbaric, de-humanising and unacceptable; considers that the National Trust has both betrayed its membership by pandering to vested interests and defied the great weight of public opinion against hunting; looks forward to the early day when Parliament will ban deer, fox and mink hunting and hare coursing; and calls on all opponents of animal cruelty to continue the struggle.
