A majority of 9:1 could be in favour of a ban in my constituency, but I would not regard that as conclusive, and I hope that we never would. If we start having opinion polls about all the unpleasant and distasteful habits and customs of some members of society, and suggesting that their findings should be made part of the criminal law, foxhunting would come way down the list, and quite a lot of strange enactments would have to go through the House.” IfsWayShouldMadeLawHouseOpinionStrangeHabitMembersFindingsBasesRegardMajorityCriminalsListsCustomsHuntingFavourPollsBansSuggestingDistastefulCriminal LawOpinion Polls Author:Kenneth Clarke
