Here's two replies I got back almost straight away.
Thank you for your email
I support the right of people to engage in shooting sports conducted according to
the law and the current codes of practice.
If elected I think it unlikely that I would join the All Party Group on Shooting and
Conservation as it is not one of my primary interests.
Yours sincerely,
Owen Temple
Liberal Democrat candidate for North West Durham
Hi David
I have no problems with shooting so my answer to Q1 is Yes. No I would not join the
APPG on Shooting & conservation. As a MP I am urged/encouraged to join all kinds of
APPGs & I have learnt that I need to stick to those I have experience in & can
reasonably attend. In any event I an PPS to Shadow SoS DEFRA & the quaint rules of
Parliament do not allow PPSs to speak on issues that come under the dept they
represent. Strange but true!
