IMPORT OF DOG AND CAT FUR

Early day motion 68, tabled 6 November 2007 by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 61 members.

That this House welcomes the United States' ban on the import 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 that they are buying may be made 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 and of products made with dog and cat fur, as soon as possible.
