| Letter received from Mary Macleod re this subject - normal waffle about "although the Government would prefer all animals to be stunned before slaughter, it recognises the requirements of Jewish and Muslim communities and accepts the importance they attach to slaughter in accordance with their beliefs". "Most halal and kosher meat is already labelled voluntarily, but any mandatory labelling system would need to cover more than just the U.K., so the European Commission is studying the matter" She concludes after more of the same non-committal twaddle: "I have been assured that the Government intends to look as possible options after the results of this study become available." So the rest of us who may also have beliefs are once again at the back of the queue for consideration. No wonder people are looking to UKIP |
