PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
IMPORTATION OF FOIE GRAS (4 July 2017)
Motion Details
That this House deplores the production of foie gras, considering it cruel and unnatural to force-feed geese until it causes internal damage; welcomes the UK's continued ban on domestic production of this foodstuff; admires India as the first country in the world to ban the import of foie gras; and calls on the Government to follow this example in making the UK the next country to ban the import of this most unpleasant product.
