Campaigners fear time is running out to get the bill, which was in the Tory manifesto, through Parliament.
Ministers are "working hard" to pass a law banning the import of animal body parts, known as hunting trophies, the Environment Secretary has said.
"The bill passed the Commons in March, with the government's support, and we will do all we can to support its progress through the House of Lords." The impact will be to prolong the legislative process because time has to be set aside to debate and vote on amendments. He said some peers were using "underhand tactics" to delay the bill, but he didn't think their amendments would be voted through.
Time is in short supply because there are not many parliamentary weeks left in this session of Parliament, before it ends to make way for a new session triggered by the King's Speech on 7 November.Parliament is currently on its summer recess but will return on 4 September for three weeks. There is also a backlog of legislation awaiting scrutiny in the Lords, including the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill and the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.
