Domestic Ivory Market

Proceeding contribution from Victoria Borwick (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Domestic Ivory Market.

I think the cost of radiocarbon dating depends on the complexity of the testing required, but I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Mid Derbyshire (Pauline Latham) for her clarification.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service recognises that antique ivory is a special case that warrants exemptions. People say, “What lessons are we learning from the rest of the world?” Well, in America, although some imports are restricted, federal rules allow trade in legally obtained antique ivory.
