EU AND FUR TRADE

Early day motion 2072, tabled 16 July 2008 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 48 members.

That this House congratulates the European Parliament proposition to ban cat and dog fur imports; believes that the wider consequences of the ban would be positive, including the impact on the Chinese fur business and the prevention of thousands of animals suffering; and approves the wider message to fur exporting countries that the European Union is united in action to improve international animal welfare.
