Lobby your local MP

Contact your local MP and ask them to sign Early Day Motion (EDM) 723.

EDM 723 calls on the Government to adopt public procurement policies that promote good standards of farm animal welfare. It urges public sector bodies to procure only chicken meat that has come from birds that have been reared free-range or to high indoor standards and to immediately cease purchases of battery eggs as this system will be illegal throughout the European Union from 2012.

You can email your MP direct at: www.writetothem.com

Please see 'success stories' on the Cage-free Council page for examples of public bodies that have already switched to using cage-free eggs in their canteens.
