Motion text
That this House expresses strong support for the campaign led by the UK Seal Alliance Executive to ban the sale of plastic flying ring toys; recognises the significant and growing danger these items pose to marine wildlife, particularly to the UK’s globally rare grey and harbour seals, which can suffer prolonged injury or death when entangled; applauds the tireless efforts of campaigners, volunteers, and organisations across Cornwall and the UK who rescue and rehabilitate affected seals, raise public awareness, and advocate for safer alternatives; notes the support of responsible retailers who have already removed flying rings from sale; and calls on the Government to introduce legislation to ban the sale of flying ring toys and prevent further harm to our treasured marine life.
