Thursday, June 8, 2023

LOS ANGELES, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On Thursday, June 8, Mercy For Animals released the results of a public opinion poll revealing that consumers believe food companies such as Dunkin', McCormick, and Best Western lack transparency about their progress toward certain animal welfare goals. Ahead of the fall launch of the third annual International Cage-Free Equity Index report, consumers are demanding that companies that have pledged to go cage-free in their global egg supplies but have been fully or partially silent on the status of their transitions share their progress toward 100% cage-free supply chains worldwide.

Key Points:

Least trusted food giant: In 2017, McCormick pledged to use only cage-free eggs in its products by 2025.
The lack of transparency raises concerns about Best Western's efforts to reach its proclaimed global cage-free goal.
Mercy For Animals urges the companies lacking in transparency to honor consumer trust by sharing their global progress on their cage-free egg commitments."
Mercy For Animals is a leading international nonprofit working to end industrial animal agriculture by constructing a just and sustainable food system.

Key Points:

In a letter to members from Lord McFall of Alcluith, Senior Deputy Speaker and chair of the Procedure Committee, he set out a number of changes to enable the House of Lords to conduct business and further scrutinise the governments response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
These changes build on the second stage of virtual proceedings, which was implemented last week.
This saw 225 members participate in 12 hours of business over two days, with a similar number of members contributing in questions virtually compared to proceedings in the chamber of the House.

Letter from Lord McFall of Alcluith to members of the House of Lords

The Committee met yesterday for the third time in a month and will continue to meet regularly throughout this period.
Our deliberations were informed by the experience of last week, which saw the introduction of stage two of virtual proceedings.
Across the two sitting days last week we saw 225 members make contributions on 11 items of business, lasting 12 hours.
And these figures compare favourably to the House of Commons, which sat for 10.5 hours over three days, with 173 members contributing.
This change, which I hope will be welcomed by all members, requires a motion to be agreed by the House before taking effect.
The changes to sign-up times for oral questions, PNQs and debates which were agreed yesterday merit particular attention from members.
The House Administration are also undertaking work to plan and deliver hybrid proceedings in the House, following the decision of the House of Lords Commission on 7 May to move in this direction.
Any return to members attending the House would need to be staged and in line with guidance from Public Health England.

"This is the first time either House has sought to establish a new Committee dedicated to the Covid-19 emergency and the Governments response to it.
Two key strengths of Lords Committeesare their cross-cutting nature - they are thematic in approach rather than set-up to shadow government departments - and the real world experience our Members can bring to them.
These strengths will be much in evidence in the new Covid-19 Committee which will be made up of experts across a whole range of relevant professional backgrounds andbe free to consider all the aspects and impact of the current crisis including on the economy, education and the social bonds between generations."
