Pigeon Fancying (EDM554)

Pigeon Fancying

EDM number 554 in 2007-08, proposed by Timothy Farron on 11/12/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Animals, Sports and Taxation.

That this House believes that pigeon fancying should be classified as a sport and is comparable to other animal-based sports such as horse riding; further believes that it is both wrong and fundamentally unfair that pigeon racing clubs have lost their tax rebate whilst sports of a similar status retain theirs; and calls upon the Government to rectify the situation as soon as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
