IMPORTATION OF FOIE GRAS

Early day motion 130, tabled 5 July 2017 by Baroness Hoey (Labour). Signed by 30 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; admires India as 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.
