Good evening. Hunt supporters in the south-west are welcoming calls | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
from the agriculture minister for a date to be set for a vote on | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
hunting ban. Hundreds turned out for the traditional Boxing Day | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
meets, confident that they are moving closer to the ban being | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
lifted. But opponents insist there will not be enough support in | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
parliament. Our reporter has more. Six years on from the ban and the | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
hands since this there are still as popular as ever. This hunt say | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
they're not chasing foxes but assent lead in advance. As usual we | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
will be hunting within the law today. We have laid many trails of | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
on the farmer's land. The hunts want the ban repealed and are | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
confident they will get it. hunting Minister has only this | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
Christmas reiterated his promise that there will be a free vote on | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
hunting and when the time is right, we're optimistic that will happen | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
and we also believe that we will win it. The timing of a vote will | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
be key. If it is held as it stands, their hopes for a repeal could be | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
lost for regeneration. Critics say there is no place for hunting in a | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
civilised society and there are better things for Parliament to be | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
dealing with. In a time of economic turmoil, surely the government have | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
better things on their plate than a repeal of the Hunting Act. That | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
would be hugely unpopular with the majority of the public. The | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
coallition did say there would be a free vote, the question is when? | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Thousands of shoppers have spent a day looking for Boxing Day bargains | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
and the sale. In Plymouth, Drake Circus was busy | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
from the early hours with hundreds lining up waiting for the doors to | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
open. Later there was a steady flow of customers in the major stores | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
across the south-west. In Truro many bargain hunters braved the | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
chilly grey conditions despite fears about internet shopping | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
affecting the high street. We are looking for shirts for our husbands | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
and shoes. Saw some lovely ones on Saturday, but they didn't have the | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
size, so we have come back again for another reconnoitre. Hopefully | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
we will find something at a reasonable price. To the Boxing Day | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Sports now, as Plymouth Argyle got their festive period of to a flying | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
start with a 3-2 win at Bristol Rovers this lunchtime. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
They looked a beaten side when Rovers opened up a 2-nil lead, but | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Warren Feeney, Nick Chadwick and Ashley Hemmings turned it around in | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
the Pilgrims favour. Hemmings's goal coming in the third minute of | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
added time. In League One, Exeter City lost a | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
3-1 at Wycombe Wanderers this afternoon. Italian striker Marcello | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
Trotta did the damage with a hat- trick for the hosts. At Huish Park, | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Yeovil Town could not break Charlton Athletic's stranglehold at | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
the top, as South Londoners one of the 3-2. The winner came in | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
stoppage time. Torquay United ended Swindon town's 15 match unbeaten | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
run, as they won by a single goal at Plainmoor. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Taiwo Atieno put United ahead in the first half against the inform | :03:13. | :03:23. | |

Robins. That is the way it stayed as the gulls picked up an important | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
win to take them to 10th in the two. In rugby, the Cornish pirates | :03:30. | :03:33. | |

ran into the sea in the annual RNLI fancy dress fundraisers. Around | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
