** Campaign update **

Unfortunately despite this Bill having strong support from MPs of all parties thanks to the lobbying of them done by our supporters, opposition by a small minority of MPs ensured that the Bill didn't get through to the next stage. This is a big disapointment to us but we will try again.

This action is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part.

We did it! Thanks to pressure from activists like you, Robert Flello MP introduced the Sustainable Livestock Bill in Parliament on 30 June. This is a great success for the Food Chain campaign.

Mr Flello, Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent South, was the second name pulled out of the hat in the annual Private Members' Ballot on 10 June.

Being drawn so early in the Ballot, his Bill stands a real chance of becoming law.

None of this would have been possible without the help of people like you. Since the start of the campaign you've helped build massive support for the issue. And during the last 3 weeks all of the MPs involved were blown away by the passion and commitment of Real Food campaigners as they swung into action.
