Veal Crates
EDM number 328 in 1991-92, proposed by Chris Mullin on 04/12/1991.
That this House notes with concern the decision of the EC Council of Agriculture Ministers not to ban the narrow veal crate; believes this system to be cruel in that the calves cannot turn round, are denied companionship and are fed an all-liquid diet; notes that although the veal crate is banned in the United Kingdom, 345,000 calves were exported last year, most of them for rearing in crates; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to prohibit the export of calves for rearing in a system which is illegal in this country.
This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
