Battery Hens

EDM number 293 in 1991-92, proposed by Ron Davies on 28/11/1991.

That this House welcomes the Athene Trust report on the welfare of hens in battery cages written by Dr. Michael Appleby, Edinburgh University's leading authority on poultry farming systems; is now convinced of the scientific evidence that hens suffer more in battery cages than in well-run alternative systems for commercial egg production; and believes that the battery system of egg production as currently practised should be phased out.

This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
