Proposal for an alternative method for ageing sheep at slaughter
We want your views on our proposal to amend English and Welsh legislation on ageing sheep for the removal of certain body parts at slaughter.

Measures to reduce personal water use
Climate change, population increases, environmental requirements and a growing demand for water will mean that, in the future, there will be substantial pressure on surface and groundwater supplies, less water available per person and a significant likelihood of more frequent, severe droughts. It is vital that we maintain sustainable supplies of water for future generations. This will involve both increasing supply and reducing demand. Reducing the amount of water that we all...
