PROTECTION FOR RARE SPECIES

Early day motion 602, tabled 4 April 2000 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 101 members.

That this House notes with alarm the United Nations Report which predicts tigers in India will be wiped out in five years with the tiger population now under 3,000 due to the activities of the organised criminal gangs poaching thousands of big cats; welcomes the Government's proposal to recommend the immediate creation of a central wildlife criminal investigation unit in India; and calls on the Government to do all it can to stop the slaughter of tigers, whales, elephants and turtles in order to preserve these magnificent animals.
