EU BAN ON TRADITIONAL BAROMETERS

Early day motion 1636, tabled 6 June 2007 by David Heath (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 52 members.

That this House believes that the proposed EU ban on the production or renovation of traditional barometers, on the spurious grounds that mercury from an antique barometer may enter the food chain, is ridiculous and unnecessary.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 21, Labour 15, Conservative 10, DUP 2, Scottish National Party 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
