Welfare Of Laying Hens (EDM519)

Welfare Of Laying Hens

EDM number 519 in 2015-16, proposed by Paul Monaghan on 14/10/2015.
Categorised under the topic of Animal welfare.

That this House expresses grave concern for the welfare of laying hens kept in enriched cages; recognises that there is marginal gain in the use of these cages over EU banned battery cages and that they do not fulfil the physical and behavioural needs of the hens; and calls on the Government to consider implementing further legislation on cages to improve the welfare of such birds.

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