Stunell Presses For Dog Fur Ban

November 15, 2002 12:00 AM

Hazel Grove MP Andrew Stunell has urged the Government to declare its commitment to the welfare of animals by taking decisive action to stop the import of products made with dog and cat fur entering the UK.

Mr Stunell said, "Many Stockport residents are being misinformed and misled about the type of fur products they are buying and they are looking to the Minister of Trade to take action to end this deception."

"The United States has already banned the import of products made with dog and cat fur. This is leading to a huge influx of unwanted products into the British market. It's crucial that the Government take action now.

"The Government need to monitor the situation properly and put in place workable measures to identify products that are coming into this country made of cat and dog fur. The present system just isn't good enough".

    If you are a resident of the Hazel Grove constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
