Trail hunting was introduced as a replacement for fox hunting, banned by Labour in 2004 .

Countryside Alliance says ban would be an "act of spite" that would be negatively received by the countryside.

Defra: "We are committed to a ban on trail hunting, which is being exploited as a smokescreen to cruelly kill foxes".
