Which brings us to a vote on the motion as amended. 

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.

4. Notes the Welsh Government’s preference is for animals to be slaughtered as close as practicable to their point of production.

Open the vote. Close the vote. In favour 49, no abstentions, three against. The motion as amended is therefore agreed.
