Motion NDM6863 as amended:

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Believes that Wales should be a world leader in animal welfare.

2. Notes action taken by the Welsh Government on:

a) introducing a food business grant for small and medium slaughterhouses for the installation of CCTV and other business improvements;

b) including robust animal health and welfare standards in work to define the Sustainable Brand Values (SBV) for the agri-food industry.

c) ensuring any review of food labelling legislation relating to animal welfare must be evidenced based.

3. Notes that no non-stun slaughter is practiced currently in Wales.
