Pledge to ban fur and foie gras imports could be dropped after cabinet opposition

New rules were expected to be introduced soon but BBC says government likely to drop plan

The British government is reportedly considering ditching its pledge to ban fur and foie gras imports after opposition from within the cabinet.

The new rules, which were due to be part of the animals abroad bill, were expected to be introduced soon. But, according to the BBC, the government is likely to drop the plans due to objections from several cabinet ministers.
