Whaling

EDM number 96 in 2001-02, proposed by Tony Banks on 09/07/2001.

That this House congratulates Her Majesty's Government on the decision to reject Norway's application to survey minke whale populations in UK waters in light of Norway's continued whaling activities; condemns the recent announcement by the Icelandic ambassador that Iceland intends to resume commercial whaling next year; further notes that Iceland's decision flies in the face of world opinion; calls upon all nations present at this month's International Whaling Commission meeting in London to vote for a ban on all commercial and so-called 'scientific' whaling; and supports the move to create a South Pacific sanctuary for whales.

This motion has been signed by a total of 100 MPs.
