Japanese Whaling

EDM number 2019 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 10/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare, Asia, Fisheries and Nature conservation.

That this House condemns the whale-meat embezzlement ring shown by Greenpeace to be at the heart of the Japanese government's so-called scientific whaling programme; calls upon the Japanese authorities to carry out an immediate public investigation into this practice which has further undermined Japan's international obligations; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to demonstrate to the Japanese government that their detaining of Greenpeace activists Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki without charge only brings their alleged corruption to the attention of the international community.

This motion has been signed by a total of 88 MPs.
