Anna Dixon MP for Shipley has today called on the Government that labelling related to welfare on animal products is made clearer.
Speaking in the House of Commons this morning during the debate on Labour's newly published Animal Welfare Strategy, Anna Dixon MP said: "I hope that you, Mr Speaker, like me and my family have already got your turkey ordered from the local butcher for Christmas. Like many of my constituents, I really care about animal welfare, so I look forward to the strategy being published next week.
"Will the Secretary of State outline the steps that the Government are taking to ensure that there is really clear labelling and communication, so that we can all be confident when we go and buy our Christmas turkey of the welfare of the animal we are eating?"
In response, Emma Reynolds MP, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said: "I have ordered my meat from my local butcher already. It is a bit late in the day, but I thank my hon. Friend for the reminder to those who may not have done so already.
"We want to make sure that there is transparency, and we are working on labelling. It will not be part of this strategy, but we are looking at it separately."
