THEFT OF RARE BIRDS' EGGS

EDM number 207 in 1998-99, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 19/01/1999.

That this House notes that the theft of rare birds' eggs from nests in the United Kingdom has more than doubled in the last year and that this poses a serious threat to some species of bird, including the osprey, golden eagle, peregrine falcon and white tailed eagle, of which there are currently only 12 breeding pairs in the United Kingdom and yet two of these nests were robbed in 1998; believes that the United Kingdom needs a more effective deterrent than the current fines in order to prevent these eggs from being stolen, such as prison sentences; and calls upon the Home Secretary and the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions, who have recently undergone consultations with the Wildlife Law Enforcement Steering Group, to introduce legislation to bring in prison sentences as a matter of urgency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
