IMPORT OF DOG AND CAT FUR

Early day motion 104, tabled 15 November 2006 by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 57 members.

That this House welcomes the United States' ban on the importation of products made with dog and cat fur; expresses concern 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 from dog and cat fur; and urges the 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.
