Labelling Of Products Made From Animal Fur
EDM number 420 in 2006-07, proposed by Judy Mallaber on 06/12/2006.
That this House notes that recent advances in the quality and look of fake fur make it difficult for many consumers to tell the difference between items made with fake fur and those made with real fur; further notes that there is now evidence that consumers are confused and some may be purchasing items made or trimmed with real fur believing the fur to be fake; further notes that the Trade Descriptions (Sealskin Goods) (Information) Order 1980 requires that all products made from or containing sealskins carry a label; and calls upon the Government to introduce, as soon as possible and as a measure to protect consumers, a labelling order requiring all other real fur on sale to carry a label states clearly states that the item is made using real animal fur.
This motion has been signed by a total of 96 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
