Labour calls for review into driven grouse shooting

LABOUR is demanding a review into driven grouse shooting at the start of the four-month shooting season that begins today.

Shadow environment secretary Sue Hayman is calling for a review on the basis that  the practice contributes to “substantial” environmental damage.

She said Labour would launch the review in government if the Tories refuse to do so.
