Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Stratford (Labour), on Wednesday, 19 April 2000, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 107 members in total.
FUR FARMING
That this House welcomes the inclusion of a prohibition on fur farming in the Queen's Speech in November 1999; condemns those honourable Members who on 19th January 2000 employed tactics to avoid the Second Reading of the Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill; is dismayed that Her Majesty's Government has still not re-scheduled a Second Reading for the Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill; notes that a report by scientists from Cambridge University shows that in natural conditions mink travel and forage over distances of at least one to three kilometres and climb, swim and dive; notes that all these natural behaviours are frustrated in the small, barren cages of mink farms; and urges Her Majesty's Government to honour its pre-election promise to prohibit fur farming by creating sufficient parliamentary time to ensure the passage of the Fur Farming (Prohibition) Bill.
