Liberal Democrat — Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 June 2025

Debate

Non-stun Slaughter of Animals

Contribution

I thank everyone who has spoken. People all over Britain who care about animals will be going online and watching this debate. The Muslim and Jewish communities will have been watching—we know that these debates have huge viewing figures. We have conducted this debate in a civilised fashion, and I think that will give people such as the petitioner and others the reassurance that when a petition comes here for debate, it will not just be put in a bag behind the Speaker’s Chair or put on a dusty shelf; it will be properly looked at. I hope I am not over-egging it when I say that that is quite good for British democracy. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered e-petition 700557 relating to the non-stun slaughter of animals.
