IMPORTATION OF FOIE GRAS

Early day motion 136, tabled 16 June 2015 by Baroness Hoey (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House deplores the production of foie gras, considering it cruel and unnatural to force-feed geese until it causes internal damage; welcomes the UK's continued ban on domestic production of this foodstuff; commends India on last year becoming the first country in the world to ban the import of foie gras; and calls on the Government to follow this example in making the UK the next country to ban the import of this most unpleasant product.
