I'm just reading bthe transcript of the debate and was thinking ' this isn't going well'.

It is poorply presented and badly supported in the chamber and this is what one MP rose to say


Kerry McCarthy (Bristol East) (Lab)

The Petitions Committee is quite new, but I would have thought that someone opening a debate on a petition on behalf of ​that Committee ought at least to look at both sides of the argument and not present such a biased argument against the petition. More than 120,000 people signed the petition to ban grouse shooting, and they want a debate that sets out both sides of the argument. The hon. Gentleman is failing them miserably.


Looks like this will fail ultimately due in part to the lacklustre way it was presented and it seems from the interjections, the only MP's in attendance.
were pro huntin.

Here's the full transcript
