Ivory Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 October 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Ivory Bill.

I think that we have been through that particular hoop a number of times. Indeed, this Bill complies with the European Convention on Human Rights. It is a proportionate response to an issue of global concern.

These objects will not be destroyed. Perhaps even if individuals no longer want them, they could do what I do and give them away or use Freecycle for items with little sale value. I find items on Freecycle last for about a day. There are many options available to individuals who want to pass on their items containing ivory.

With that explanation, I hope that my noble friend feels able to withdraw his amendment.
