ENDANGERED FALCONS

Early day motion 823, tabled 30 January 2008 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

That this House notes with concern the massacre of nearly 50 falcons illegally by hunters in Cyprus; further notes that red-footed falcons have recently been reclassified from vulnerable to globally-threatened; recognises that Cyprus is in the middle of one of the main migration routes for birds heading for the African warmth during the winter; calls on the European Commission to exert its authority; and further calls on the Greek-Cypriot government to ensure that a ban on shooting endangered species is enforced rigorously.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Conservative 3, Liberal Democrat 3, DUP 1.
