Apply animal welfare laws to imported meat

Additional Information

The UK has more stringent laws on the treatment of farm animals than many other nations, in order to prevent undue cruelty.

This gives british farms a disadvantage in terms of production costs.
In order to encourage production within the UK, and to increase animal welfare worldwide, the laws governing treatment of animals within the UK should also be applied to the producers of any meat which is then imported into the UK.
Meat produced in an improper manner should be banned from sale within our nation.

This measure would help to encourage the UK economy, while simultaneously improving animal welfare.
