Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor David Drew (Labour and Co-operative Party), on Wednesday, 17 May 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 31 members in total.


ANIMAL WELFARE AND THE RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FOR ENGLAND 2007-13

That this House notes the current consultation on the draft Rural Development Programme for England (ERDP) 2007-13; is disappointed that the draft ERDP does not make use of the full range of measures to protect and promote animal welfare available under European legislation, including supporting appropriate farm assurance schemes, encouraging higher than minimum animal welfare standards, providing for training and incentivising investments in agricultural holdings; and supports the RSPCA in its call for an imaginative ERDP which provides much greater encouragement for higher animal welfare standards.
