Early day motion 756, tabled 21 November 2012 by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 19 members.

That this House welcomes the announcement of an independent review into Chinese sky lanterns and their impact on livestock, crops and the environment; notes the commitment to Government action based on the results of the study; further notes the existence of a ban on their use in Spain as of January 2012 as a result of the damage to property and death or injury to livestock caused by discarded lanterns; urges that the study is completed as quickly as possible; and calls on the Government to then act swiftly.
