Bearskin Caps

EDM number 1040 in 2006-07, proposed by Ann Widdecombe on 06/03/2007.

That this House recognises that public opinion polls show that almost 70 per cent. of the British population wants the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to stop using real fur for the ceremonial bearskin caps worn by the five guards regiments; notes that these caps have no military significance and involve unnecessary cruelty; and invites the MoD to end their use and substitute hats made from a modern synthetic material.

This motion has been signed by a total of 141 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
