Nothing and nobody is insignificant, and we do well to remember that governments will always ultimately fail if they continually ignore problems that they consider too small to be worth their time.

Having said that, if hunting really is that insignificant it begs the question, why did this Labour Government dedicate such a vast amount of parliamentary time to banning it?

Ah, nothing like context eh? Clearly, the statement was about the economic significance of hunting being relatively small.
