Festival Of Falconry

EDM number 1868 in 2008-09, proposed by Kate Hoey on 13/07/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Cultural heritage.

That this House congratulates the organisers of the recent second International Festival of Falconry, held in Englefield, Berkshire, which brought together over 50 countries to celebrate the age-old practice of using birds of prey for hunting; recognises that in many parts of the world such activities are regarded as part of a country's heritage; urges the Government to recognise the cultural and traditional importance of falconry and other natural forms of hunting; and suggests that the UK should sign UNESCO's Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
