: That was until the Scottish National Party intervened, according to The Independent. The SNP opposes hunting but does not normally vote on matters that affect only England and Wales, so it was expected to abstain. A minority of Conservative MPs is opposed to changing the law, but it was assumed that, with 99 more seats than Labour, any Tory rebellion could be overcome. Now party sources claim that the Government changes might affect the situation in Scotland, where hunting was banned three years earlier than in England. The Independent on Sunday is not in favour of hunting. If the SNP votes with Labour, the Government attempt to relax the ban is likely to fail.
