Antimicrobial Resistance: Farm Animals

Proceeding contribution from Mark Spencer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2023. It occurred during Debate on Antimicrobial Resistance: Farm Animals.

I hesitate to interrupt the hon. Gentleman’s flow, because I will obviously get my say in a moment. I am sure that he does not want to slander a whole industry of farmers who take animal welfare very seriously. These are people who get out of bed very early in the morning to look after and care for their animals on a daily basis. People cannot do that unless they love and respect animals. I know that he does not mean to slander a whole industry, but I thought he might want to take a moment to reflect on some of his language and

acknowledge that there are farmers up and down this country who care deeply for the welfare of their animals and who look after them in a special way.
