6 MAY I assure Tim Pinney that I was fully aware of the fact of the date change for the previous vote on hunting.

My point was (and is) that he stated, not suggested, what Mike Foster had done on that Monday evening.

Could it be he wrote his letter prior to the originally-scheduled voting day, in the hope of publication and publicity to coincide with the event, and was caught out by the change and made to look foolish?

If this was not the case, perhaps he could provide us with another explanation that might restore some of his credibility.

A REECE, Worcester.
