    MPs debate the importation and sale of foie gras

    On Tuesday 24 October, MPs took part in a Westminster Hall debate on the importation and sale of foie gras, during which MPs discussed the possibility of banning the import of foie gras.
    The debate was led by Giles Watling MP. Environment Minister Rebecca Pow MP responded to the debate on behalf of the Government.

    The debate was suspended for 25 minutes at 16.00 for a division. You can use the scrollbar in the video player to skip to 16:25:00 when the debate resumes

    What is a Westminster Hall debate?

    Westminster Hall is the second chamber of the House of Commons. Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to raise local and national issues and receive a response from a government minister. Westminster Hall debates are general debates that do not end in a vote.
