Battery Hens

EDM number 159 in 1990-91, proposed by Ron Davies on 04/12/1990.

That this House notes with concern the high level of injury caused to laying hens by the extreme restriction imposed upon them by the battery cage method of production; further notes that this method of production has been censured by the Farm Animal Welfare Council and the Select Committee on Agriculture; and calls upon the Government to issue a Statement of Intent to ban the battery hen cage over a period of no more than 10 years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs.
