Transport Of Food Animals

EDM number 297 in 1989-90, proposed by Janet Fookes on 15/01/1990.

That this House supports the principle that food animals should be slaughtered as near as possible to the point of production; believes that such transportation should be kept to a minimum in terms of duration, in vehicles designed and constructed with the welfare of animals in mind and with drivers and handlers trained and practised in the care of the animals in their charge; and calls upon the Government to take action.

This motion has been signed by a total of 107 MPs.
