Illegal Meat Imports

EDM number 113 in 2005-06, proposed by James Paice on 17/05/2005.

That this House deplores the Government's inaction on tackling illegal meat imports; notes that illegal meat imports present serious risks to both animal and human health, and threaten the survival of many species in the wild; believes that posters, leaflets and a few extra sniffer dogs at UK entry points falls well short of the action required to protect human and animal health; and calls on the Government immediately to commence trials of x-ray technology to prevent illegal meat entering the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 91 MPs.
