Lord Marlesford is a social conservative. In favour of hunting with dogs, he has proposed to overturn the ban. This conservatism extends to political integration in Europe, and a referendum on membership. And he is all in favour of students paying their own way. When the Prime Minister proposed a reduction in the number of MPs he was enthusiastic, but has erred on the side of moderate improvement to controls over people. No changes to the asylum system, and against ID cards, he is moderately against allowing more interference in personal lives.[ citation needed ]
