Animal Welfare

Proceeding contribution from Neil Parish (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 December 2017. It occurred during Debate on Animal Welfare.

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this debate. The five-year sentencing for animal cruelty is excellent. We need to procure food that is of a very high standard and British. We also need to ensure that, as we do our Brexit deals in future, we do not allow in food with much lower welfare standards, so that our farmers who have high-quality and high-welfare standards also have a real chance to maintain a competitive edge.
