PUBLIC PROCUREMENT OF EGGS, MEAT AND MILK

Early day motion 222, tabled 14 June 2010 by Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 34 members.

That this House notes that it is encouraging that about 90 local authorities either no longer use eggs from caged hens, or are committed to ending their use in the near future; and therefore believes that the Government should now set high standards of animal welfare for the procurement of food and meals by the whole of the public sector, and that this should extend not just to eggs but also to fish, meat and milk.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, Liberal Democrat 11, Conservative 1, Green 1, Scottish National Party 1.
