Chinese Sky Lanterns

EDM number 1095 in 2010-12, proposed by Timothy Farron on 25/11/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Industrial health and safety.

That this House notes with concern the damage to property and death or injury to British livestock caused by discarded Chinese sky lanterns; expresses concern that, while high quality lanterns used accordingly to proper instructions are deemed safe, many poor quality lanterns which lack proper health and safety instructions are also readily available; encourages importers to demand 100 per cent. biodegradable lanterns that come with a high quality fuel source from manufacturers; and calls on the Government to continue ensuring that distributors sell the highest quality lanterns with comprehensive operating and safety instructions.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
