BAN ON SNARES

Early day motion 1473, tabled 12 May 2009 by Eric Martlew (Labour). Signed by 177 members.

That this House congratulates the League Against Cruel Sports for producing the report War on Wildlife highlighting the indiscriminate suffering caused by snares; notes a recent poll conducted by the League Against Cruel Sports in conjunction with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons which found that 90 per cent. of respondents were strongly behind a ban on snares; and therefore calls on the Government to outlaw the manufacture, sale and use of all snares.

Signatures by party: Labour 115, Liberal Democrat 40, Conservative 11, Independent 4, DUP 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Independent Labour 1, UUP 1.
