Whaling
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will press Norway to stop commercial whaling.
- Answer
-
We will continue to press Norway to desist from commercial whaling, which we believe contrary to the spirit of the International Whaling Commission moratorium. We made our objections very clear with regard to Norwegian whaling at the recent annual International Whaling Commission meeting in Korea. I also raised the matter with the Norwegian Fisheries Minister during a visit to Norway in November 2004.
