Pressure on Labour as public backs foie gras ban

Some 76% of participants said the Government must deliver on its vow to bar the controversial pâté, made from the livers of force-fed ducks and geese, from entering the UK.

Just 11% said the Government should not and 13% did not know.

Since 2007, it has been illegal to produce foie gras in Britain on animal welfare grounds.

The survey also found 43% do not trust the Government on the issue of protecting animals. Only 26% said they do, while a third were unsure.

Conservative MP Sir Roger Gale urged Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to go ahead with the ban.
