UK Supermarkets And Canadian Fish And Seafood Products

EDM number 1937 in 2005-06, proposed by David Drew on 29/03/2006.

That this House notes with grave concern the Canadian government's decision to increase the quota of seal pups to be killed in this year's commercial seal hunt on Canada's east coast to 325,000; expresses its revulsion at the unacceptable cruelty of the hunt; recognises the damage it is doing to Canada's international reputation; notes the Respect for Animals campaign, spearheaded by Sally Banks (Lady Stratford) the widow of the late Tony Banks (Lord Stratford) urging UK supermarkets and consumers to boycott Canadian fish and seafood products; believes that a boycott of those Canadian products will be popular with consumers and the wider British public, who are overwhelmingly opposed to this vicious hunt; further notes that such a boycott would send the strongest economic signal to Canada that the hunt must stop; reiterates its call on the UK Government to prohibit the import of all seal products into the UK; and urges UK supermarket chains to boycott Canadian fish and seafood imports until the hunt is brought to an end.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs.
