Duke of Cambridge steps up pressure for British ban on ivory sales
The Duke of Cambridge will intensify pressure on politicians to ban the sale of ivory this week, as senior Tories demand Theresa May acts now to protect elephants and rhinos.
While he is expected to be scrupulously careful to avoid criticising the government, the Duke will win praise from leading Conservatives who want Mrs May to do more.
At last year’s general election, the Tories promised action to ban all ivory sales although this pledge has not yet been implemented. The proposal has been criticised by antiques dealers who say it will put them out of business.
