JAPANESE WHALING

Early day motion 2019, tabled 10 July 2008 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 88 members.

That this House condemns the whale-meat embezzlement ring shown by Greenpeace to be at the heart of the Japanese government's so-called scientific whaling programme; calls upon the Japanese authorities to carry out an immediate public investigation into this practice which has further undermined Japan's international obligations; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to demonstrate to the Japanese government that their detaining of Greenpeace activists Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki without charge only brings their alleged corruption to the attention of the international community.

Signatures by party: Labour 60, Liberal Democrat 20, Conservative 4, DUP 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
