Sir, Has MP Simon Hart's mask slipped and is he finally showing his true colours? I was surprised to see him supporting the South Pembrokeshire Foxhounds (Observer, January 2) when 80 per cent of the British public, including his constituents, have no wish for the return of hunting with hounds, especially when a general election is just around the corner. You may be aware that he was Master of the South Pembs. Hunt for 10 years before becoming chief executive of the Countryside Alliance whose sole purpose is to repeal the 2004 Hunting Act.
