HC Deb 19 April 1934 vol 288 c1107
9. Captain ERSKINE-BOLST

asked the Home Secretary whether the attention of the police has been called to the use of the so-called battery system of poultry-keeping; and, if so, whether a test case is contemplated to sift allegations of inherent cruelty?

Sir J. GILMOUR

My attention had not been previously called to the matter, but such information as I have been able to obtain does not suggest that action by the police is called for.
