ENDING COSMETICS ANIMAL TESTING GLOBALLY

Early day motion 437, tabled 20 October 2017 by Caroline Lucas (Green). Signed by 116 members.

That this House is proud of the UK's leadership in ending animal testing for cosmetics; notes that the EU and several other countries have also ended this unnecessary practice; believes that it is now in the interests of animals, consumers and a fair platform for UK industry and international trade to end it around the world; understands that this could be achieved with an international convention that will end animal testing for all cosmetics products and ingredients worldwide; and calls on the Government to lead such an initiative by tabling, actively pursuing and supporting a resolution at the UN General Assembly for ad hoc committee as called for by UK-based Cruelty Free International.

Signatures by party: Labour 55, Scottish National Party 29, Liberal Democrat 9, Conservative 7, Labour/Co-operative 6, DUP 3, Independent 3, Plaid Cymru 3, Green 1.
