Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Animal Welfare Strategy (see attached) states that ending the use of cages is a key priority for this Government. A UK-wide consultation on laying hen cage reform was launched on 12 January 2026 and closed on 9 March 2026.

This Government is now analysing the consultation responses and will publish a formal response in due course.
Poultry: Animal Housing Asked by: Baroness Fookes (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 20th May 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to ban the import of any poultry, eggs or other poultry by-products that were produced using any type of cage system for the keeping of poultry. Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) This Government shares the public’s high regard for the UK’s environmental protections, food standards and animal welfare. Imports into the UK must comply with UK’s existing import requirements. Products produced to different environmental and animal welfare standards can be placed on the UK market if they comply with these requirements. This has always been the case and includes products from the EU and other longstanding trading partners. This Government will always consider whether overseas produce has an unfair advantage and any impact that may have. Where necessary, this Government will be prepared to use the full range of powers at its disposal to protect the UK’s most sensitive sectors.
