FUTURE OF FARMING

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the report from the Policy Commission on the Future of Farming; is however disappointed that it did not discuss fundamental animal welfare issues in detail; believes that such considerations need urgent attention and should be placed at the heart of future farming policy; further believes that farm animal welfare is of fundamental importance to the whole farming and food sector and improvement in disease control and animal health; and therefore urges her Majesty's Government to incorporate this centrally in their future strategy.
