Norwegian Slaughter Of Minke Whales

EDM number 889 in 1995-96, proposed by Tony Banks on 14/05/1996.

That this House deplores the decision by the Norwegian Fisheries Department to allow the slaughter of 425 Minke whales plus an unspecified number to be slaughtered in the name of 'scientific' whaling; accuses the Norwegian Government and in particular Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland of rank hypocrisy in parading green credentials whilst at the same time defying both the International Whaling Commission and public opinion throughout Europe; and demands that the Norwegian Government ends the smuggling of whale meat and blubber into Japan and calls off the Minke whale slaughter due to commence on 21st May.

This motion has been signed by a total of 148 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
