§ Miss QuennellMr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a Petition to this 323 honourable House signed by the Trustees of Compassion in World Farming and others showing their concern for the welfare of farm animals and regretting that
no time was allowed for the discussion of their protection during the European Communities Bill.Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House will make adequate provisions to safeguard the social and physical well-being of British-born livestock, and will not pass the European Communities Bill until this has been done.And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
