Japanese Whaling

EDM number 916 in 1999-00, proposed by Norman Baker on 03/07/2000.

That this House condemns plans by the Government of Japan to expand its programme of so-called scientific whaling to include Bryde's and sperm whales in addition to minke whales; regrets that Japan has ignored requests from the International Whaling Commission to stop its whaling; notes that the IWC has said that it does not need the data obtained from Japan's scientific whaling; is further deeply concerned that Japan is killing whales in the Southern Ocean despite the decision in 1994 to declare this area a whale sanctuary; and respectfully calls on the Government of Japan to withdraw this proposal and to stop its whaling activities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 145 MPs.
