TRADE IN CAT AND DOG FUR

Early day motion 102, tabled 14 November 2002 by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 101 members.

That this House welcomes the fact that the United States has banned the importation of products made with dog and cat fur; is concerned that this ban means that more of these products may now be imported into the EU and the United Kingdom; is further concerned that consumers may not be aware that products they are buying may be made from dog and cat fur; and urges Her Majesty's Government to bring in a ban on the import, export and domestic trade in dog and cat fur or of products made with dog and cat fur as soon as possible.

Signatures by party: Labour 59, Liberal Democrat 23, Conservative 8, Labour/Co-operative 6, DUP 2, Scottish National Party 2, UUP 1.
