Animal Welfare

EDM number 31 in 2007-08, proposed by Bill Wiggin on 06/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare and Animals.

That this House recognises that much of the important detail of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 will follow in the form of regulations and codes of practice; notes that in 2006 the Government only laid before the House regulations relating to farm welfare and tail docking; is concerned that the implementation of regulations and codes of practice is proceeding at a slow pace; and calls upon the Government to bring forward the proposed draft regulations and codes of practice and ensure that Parliament will have the opportunity to scrutinise them prior to their commencement.

This motion has been signed by a total of 77 MPs.
