The policy reversal will affect about 170 packs of registered foxhounds, plus more than 80 packs of harriers, beagles and basset hounds that were historically used to hunt hares. The hunts and their 40,000 members have kept going since the 2004 ban, hoping it would be reversed.
For the Conservative Party, where hunting is a totemic issue, dropping the pledge to reverse the ban could be divisive, the newspaper says. The Conservative Party membership is predominantly based in rural and market towns and tends to support traditional country sports.
