Motion Text
That this House notes with alarm the conduct of 23 Conservative Members of the European Parliament for signing a document calling for the European hunting season to be extended; notes that this will allow hunters in France and Italy more time to kill migrating British birds such as song thrushes and turtle doves; and calls on Members of the European Parliament to oppose the proposed extension of the European hunting season.
