On Monday 17^th June the Scottish Liberal Democrats published their 2024 election manifesto.

Here are the sections of the manifesto that relate to animal protection, reproduced as worded within the manifesto:

Ensure Britain continues to be a world leader in animal welfare and standards by:

Ensuring that no animal product that would be illegal to produce in the UK can be sold here, including foie gras and food produced with antibiotic growth promoters.

At least matching the EU’s stricter rules on preventative use of antibiotics, and introducing a comprehensive plan to tackle antimicrobial resistance in farm animals, working in collaboration with the Scottish Government.

Developing safe, effective, humane, and evidence-based ways of controlling bovine tuberculosis, including by investing to produce workable vaccines, helping protect Scotland’s officially TB-free status in the process.
