Hunting supporters have seized on former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s admission that banning hunting was “one of the domestic legislative measures I most regret”.
They say the comment, in his autobiography A Journey, published last week, is confirmation that the hunting ban should be repealed.
He also states in his book that he was educated about hunting by a “mistress of a hunt near Oxford”.
