An anti-hunting campaign group has thanked a Sussex MP for his support in the vote to ban hunting.
The Campaign to Protect Hunted Animals (CPHA) has applauded Ivor Caplin, Labour MP for Hove, for backing an outright ban on hunting with dogs.
The MP pledged to support a ban in 1997 and co-sponsored the first private members bill on the subject.
Mr Caplin said: "I am proud to have been a part of the campaign to end this barbarous practice and believe we are moving forward to a total ban.
"I will continue to work with the CPHA to argue all forms of hunting have no place in a modern Britain."
