Whales
EDM number 63 in 2006-07, proposed by Bill Wiggin on 15/11/2006.
That this House recognises the significant role played by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in protecting whales; further recognises the importance of continuing with that protection; is concerned about the success of diplomatic actions by pro-whaling countries which are attempting to take control of the IWC; is further concerned about the resolution passed at the July 2006 IWC meeting which declared the ban on commercial whale hunting as being invalid; and calls upon the Government to take action before the next IWC meeting to ensure that the moratorium on whaling remains in place and is observed by all countries.
This motion has been signed by a total of 183 MPs.
