Bearskin Caps

EDM number 1244 in 2007-08, proposed by Ian Gibson on 20/03/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare, Animals, Armed forces and Nature conservation.

That this House recognises that the bearskin caps worn by British military personnel have no military significance and involve unnecessary cruelty; and invites the Government to end their use and to substitute hats made from fake fur.

This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs.
