Minister Ben Bradshaw celebrates Good Eggs

The Minister for Animal Welfare attended CIWF’s first Good Egg Awards in London on 27 March and presented the House of Commons with an award for its policy of sourcing cage-free eggs.

Other award winners included Sainsbury’s, M&S, Waitrose, Pret A Manger, Starbucks, McDonald’s, J D Wetherspoon, Google and Sky.

The event was held in the Jubilee Room in Westminster Hall and was attended by over 80 delegates including the award winners, MPs, Peers and other leading NGOs.

CIWF Chief Executive, Philip Lymbery, thanked Mr Bradshaw for speaking at the event and for presenting an award.

He added: ‘Both the London event and the event in Brussels a week earlier showcased successfully the rapidly growing support for eggs produced in non-cage systems amongst the corporate sector in the UK and Europe.’
