Sustainable And Responsible Fish Sourcing (EDM1309)

Sustainable And Responsible Fish Sourcing

EDM number 1309 in 2006-07, proposed by Elliot Morley on 19/04/2007.

That this House applauds the Marine Conservation Society for organising the Sustainable Supermarket League Table, designed to assist consumers in making informed choices about the seafood they buy and whether it comes from sustainably managed sources; congratulates Waitrose and Marks and Spencer, who share joint place at the top of the league table; urges other retailers to follow their strong commitment to sustainable and responsible fish sourcing; gives particular praise to the commendable stance taken by Marks and Spencer in only sourcing seafood from companies that are involved neither in the cruel and unnecessary commercial seal hunt in Canada nor the unjustified and nonsensical Icelandic whale hunt, which takes place in defiance of the International Whaling Commission; recognises the support the Marks and Spencer position has from British consumers who are overwhelmingly opposed to these hunts; calls on the UK Government now to prohibit the import of all seal products into the UK; and urges all British retailers to follow Marks and Spencer's policy in relation to seafood sourcing.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
