Clear Labelling For Real Fur Products

EDM number 927 in 2007-08, proposed by Elliot Morley on 18/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare, Animals, Consumers, Manufacturing industries and Wildlife.

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; further notes that a new law came into force in November 2007 in New York State requiring all real fur and fur-trimmed clothing to carry a label saying real fur; 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 that clearly states that the item is made using real animal fur.

This motion has been signed by a total of 137 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
