Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Peter Ainsworth (Conservative). It was answered by Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) on Thursday, 4 February 2010 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
International Whaling Commission
- Question
- What recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the International Whaling Commission; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Given the number of whales still killed, the International Whaling Commission is, in the UK's view, failing in its objective to safeguard whale stocks. The IWC will next meet in Florida in March to discuss progress on a number of issues. The UK will attend that meeting but will not agree to any proposals that would be detrimental to either the welfare or the conservation of whales.
