Enriched Cages For Egg-Laying Hens (EDM792)

Enriched Cages For Egg-Laying Hens

EDM number 792 in 2001-02, proposed by Chris Mullin on 04/02/2002.

That this House is concerned that, although the EU Hens Directive prohibits the use of conventional battery cages from 2012, it permits the use of 'enriched cages'; notes with concern the significant welfare problems associated with 'enriched cage' systems, which the egg industry may well introduce as a substitute for conventional battery cages; believes that the floor space and cage height and the perch, litter and nest box facilities provided in 'enriched cages' are insufficient to allow hens to perform natural behaviours in a way that is meaningful to the birds; and urges Her Majesty's Government to prohibit the use of 'enriched cages', as they offer no significant additional welfare benefits for egg-laying hens.

This motion has been signed by a total of 111 MPs.
