The people of Britain are some of the most caring and compassionate people in the world, which is why we must ensure that animals like hens are treated with compassion. The Bill aims to prohibit cages for commercially reared egg-laying hens as they do not allow adequate space for natural behaviors leading to poor welfare. Studies show hens have complex social structures and high intelligence; however, many remain in cramped cages causing suffering. Public support is strong, with 76% of consumers wanting a ban on cages, while major retailers and producers also support cage-free eggs by 2025. Despite industry progress, 38% of UK eggs still come from cages, impacting up to 16 million hens annually. Major companies like Nestlé are calling for legislation to ensure no eggs come from caged hens. Transitioning away from cages is economically viable and will align laws with public sentiment on animal welfare. The Bill aims to prevent undercutting by businesses with lower standards while confirming Britain's position as a leader in animal welfare.
