Tory friends raised fears final month that the committee may grow to be a ‘Malicious program’ to dam important infrastructure to guard wildlife.

There are additionally considerations that sport taking pictures and killing vermin on farms would possibly face a ban.

Tory peer Lord Herbert, chairman of the Countryside Alliance, mentioned the Invoice gave ‘leverage and energy’ to the animal rights agenda.

However final evening, the Division for Atmosphere, Meals and Rural Affairs mentioned: ‘The committee can have no authorized powers nor the power to put new burdens or restrictions on people or companies.’
