Weight Of Fashion Models (EDM2685)

Weight Of Fashion Models

EDM number 2685 in 2005-06, proposed by Bob Russell on 09/10/2006.

That this House calls on the British Fashion Council to follow the example of the Madrid Fashion Week by banning from fashion shows any model with a Body Mass Index (BMI) below 18; notes that UN health experts recommend a BMI of between 18.5 and 25 dependent on height and weight; and calls on all involved in the UK fashion industry to promote a healthier weight for all models.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
