PIGEON FANCYING

Early day motion 554, tabled 11 December 2007 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 30 members.

That this House believes that pigeon fancying should be classified as a sport and is comparable to other animal-based sports such as horse riding; further believes that it is both wrong and fundamentally unfair that pigeon racing clubs have lost their tax rebate whilst sports of a similar status retain theirs; and calls upon the Government to rectify the situation as soon as possible.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Liberal Democrat 8, Conservative 4.
