WESTERN MORNING NEWS CAMPAIGN ON LIVE HORSE EXPORTS
Early day motion 51, tabled 26 November 2003 by Caroline Spelman (Conservative). Signed by 57 members.
That this House supports the Western Morning News Campaign to highlight the proposed resumption of the live export of horses, ponies and donkeys to the Continent; urges the Government to stand firm over these live exports; and calls on the Government to insist that an opt-out clause is inserted into the new regulations so that the UK retains the right to impose additional restrictions of its own in order to safeguard horses, ponies and donkeys.
