Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Ann Widdecombe (Conservative), on Tuesday, 6 March 2007, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 138 members in total.
BEARSKIN CAPS
That this House recognises that public opinion polls show that almost 70 per cent. of the British population wants the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to stop using real fur for the ceremonial bearskin caps worn by the five guards regiments; notes that these caps have no military significance and involve unnecessary cruelty; and invites the MoD to end their use and substitute hats made from a modern synthetic material.
