Shark Fins Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lyn Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 15 July 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Shark Fins Bill.

I am listening carefully to my hon. Friend. After reading the Bill’s explanatory notes, I am aware that there is a separate exemption for individuals to import up to 20 kg of dried shark fin to the UK for personal consumption. Is that because it is about using the whole shark? I wonder whether something more could be done through the passage of the Bill to ensure that the 20 kg comes from the use of the whole shark, rather than from a shark killed only for its fins.
