They have undertaken a review of policy on this issue and have concluded that the UK should press the European Commission to propose EU-wide measures to ban the import of listed harp and hooded seal products. This would establish a harmonised EU approach. It is the Government's view that action taken...
- Orders of the Day — Wild Mammals (Protection) Bill (14 Feb 1992)
