Beak-Trimming Ban

EDM number 223 in 2010-12, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 14/06/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture and Animal welfare.

That this House notes that the UK ban on the beak-trimming of laying hens is due to come into force on 1 January 2011; further notes that the previous Government planned to postpone the ban without setting any new date for it to come into force; and therefore believes that if the ban is postponed, a new specific commencement date must be set and that an indefinite postponement is completely unacceptable.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
