Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat), on Wednesday, 21 January 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 44 members in total.
GREENPEACE AND CETACEAN BY-CATCH
That this House commends the recent launch of the Greenpeace ship Esperanza and the organisation's investigation into cetacean by-catch as a consequence of pelagic pair trawling in the Western Approaches and the Irish Sea; notes however that hundreds of dead dolphins, porpoises and small whales continue to be washed ashore onto West Country beaches every day when pair trawlers are active; and urges Her Majesty's Government and the EU to ban pair trawling for bass immediately, to prevent any further unnecessary slaughter.
