PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
TONY BANKS AND THE CANADIAN SEAL HUNT (18 January 2006)
Motion Details
That this House notes with great sadness the sudden death of Tony Banks (Lord Stratford); recognises his tremendous work in the field of animal welfare and pays tribute to his efforts and dedication; further notes his commitment to end the cruel slaughter of hundreds of thousands of seal pups for their fur each spring in Canada and his wish that the UK end its trade in seal products in line with public opinion; and calls on the Government to prohibit the trade in all harp and hooded seal products in the UK as soon as possible.
