www.vernoncoleman.com Forces Labour Ministers To Admit Lords Cannot Squash Anti-Hunting Bill

Late on 30th June 2003 (as soon as the House of Commons Vote was announced), www.vernoncoleman.com faxed press agencies, newspapers, TV and radio stations with a reminder of the promises made by Blair and Morley (see associated story below).

By 1st July 2003, Labour Ministers publicly admitted that the Government would not dare allow the House of Lords to delay or interfere with the anti-hunting bill.

Ministers, reminded of their Government's promises, were clearly aware of the danger of allowing the House of Lords to stop the bill becoming law.

Vernon Coleman has written promises from both Blair and Morley that this would not be allowed. The Labour Government is aware that if the House of Lords is allowed to stop the bill, copies of those letters would once again be sent to all MPs and journalists.
