Tesco Supermarkets And Chicken Welfare (EDM1917)

Tesco Supermarkets And Chicken Welfare

EDM number 1917 in 2007-08, proposed by Bob Russell on 30/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Animal welfare, Animals, Food and Service industries.

That this House deplores the action of institutional shareholders of Tesco plc in voting against a resolution to ensure that chicken rearing standards are improved; congratulates TV cook Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his campaign which sought to persuade Britain's largest food retailer to upgrade its minimum conditions to the RSPCA's `Freedom Food' marque; urges all other food retailers to adopt these minimum conditions and inform customers that they have done so; urges people in the meantime to boycott the purchase of chickens at Tesco stores; and calls on the Government to make it a requirement for all those involved in chicken rearing to meet the RSPCA's minimum conditions.

This motion has been signed by a total of 83 MPs.
