Graham Stuart MP has today called for a tough stance by the European Union on egg producers who do not comply with the industry’s new welfare standards. Graham met with representatives from the British Egg Industry Council on Monday in a Parliamentary reception to discuss the impact of the EU directive on Laying Hen Welfare legislation. Graham Stuart has urged farmers and food producers from across the region to attend the upcoming Bishop Burton Centre for Agricultural Innovation’s next Rural Business Conference. The event, entitled ‘Food Production: More for Less’, will examine ways the agricultural industry can respond to the challenges posed by climate change and population growth. Beverley and Holderness MP, Graham Stuart, has pledged his support for the Fish Fight campaign by signing Early Day Motion 1123. Graham has backed the campaign, led by Chef Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, which raises awareness that around half of the fish caught in the North Sea, despite dying in the trawling process, are unnecessarily thrown back. |
