TIGERTIME CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1806, tabled 12 May 2011 by Tessa Munt (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 44 members.

That this House commends the work of the artist and conservationist David Shepherd on his 80th birthday and notes the launch of his worldwide movement to save the tiger in the wild, TigerTime; expresses its backing for the wider aims of TigerTime; supports the first major TigerTime initiative which is to call on the government of China to demonstrably increase its enforcement work to suppress the trade in illegal tiger parts, including greater use of covert surveillance and intelligence-led targeting and prosecution of key organised criminals, consistent with Wen Jiabao's statement at the International Tiger Forum; and calls for concerted international action to secure the world's tiger population for future generations.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 23, Labour 10, Conservative 7, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, DUP 1, Independent 1.
