Motion text
That this House, while wanting to see every practical effort made to improve the welfare of farmed animals, also believes that freedom of religion is integral to a free society; recognises the importance of halal and shechita methods of slaughter to Britain's Muslim and Jewish communities; expresses concern that reported proposals, however well-intentioned, from the Farm Animal Welfare Council may impose unacceptable restrictions on religious freedom; and calls upon the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to defend the liberty of religious minorities.
