That this House expresses its dismay at the wide range of toys and computer games which are based on lethal weapons and violent imagery; believes that, in part, the growth of violence in our society has its roots in the brutalising of our children from an early age by war toys and games; calls upon Her Majesty's Government to set up an inquiry to investigate what links exist between war toys, games and violent behaviour; and reminds parents that the season of peace and goodwill is ill-served by the giving of war toys to children.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 27 November 2000
That this House utterly rejects the offensive demand from Mr David Sheil, Chairman of the Anglo-Scottish Fishermen's Federation to cull Britain's seal population; believes Mr Sheil's reported comments that seals are 'just helping themselves' and that they are 'pests' reveals a profound ignorance of the reasons for the decline in fish stocks which is entirely due to the grotesque overfishing by commercial fleets and fishing communities who venal, purblind and greedy activities have together destroyed fish stocks and, in turn, their own livelihoods; further believes that the culling of seals would be a disgraceful surrender to greed and stupidity; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to reject such calls and impose a total ban on cod fishing in British waters until stocks are once again replenished and in balance as nature determined before the intervention of modern fishing methods.

That this House reminds the Mayor of London that pigeons in Trafalgar Square are part of the London scene enjoyed by citizens and visitors alike; further reminds him that the Square's feral pigeons are intelligent and sociable creatures who have become accustomed to a food source provided by human beings and to cut off the supply abruptly would be cruel and lacking in compassion; and calls upon the Mayor to consult the relevant animal welfare organisations on acceptable methods of pigeon control and in the meantime to desist from campaigns that vilify the gentle London pigeon.
