ENVIRONMENT
Labour remains committed to defending the welfare of animals, whether wild, domestic or on farms. We have legislated to ban cruel ‘sports’ such as fox hunting and hare coursing, toughened the sanctions against people who mistreat animals, and banned animal testing of cosmetics and barren cages for chickens, among other items. We will ensure that these measures are rigorously enforced, and extend and enhance them where necessary.
Labour believes that the beauty and biodiversity of Britain’s countryside and green spaces enrich the quality of our lives.The creation of two new National Parks in the New Forest and South Downs we have enabled millions of people to enjoy our countryside and coastal areas.We have support rural business, and see a steady improvement in rural public services.We are committed to spending 3.9 billion in the next Rural Development Programme in England, the major part of which will be devoted to agri-environment Environmental Stewardship schemes, improving the quality of our countryside for people and wildlife.
