Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the European Commission's study on information to consumers on the stunning of animals, published in May 2015, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the findings of that report; and if she will make a statement.
The Government welcomes the findings of the Commission’s report into the labelling of meat and religious slaughter, which is a serious contribution to the debate. We are studying the findings and look forward to any proposals that come forward from the EU Commission.
