HC Deb 13 October 1969 vol 788 cc40-1W
Sir J. Eden

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will revise the codes of recommendations for the welfare of livestock which he has drawn up under the Agriculture (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1968, to take into account more of the recommendations of the Brambell Committee's Report and of the behavioural needs of the animals.

Mr. John Mackie

The codes were prepared by a Committee under the chairmanship of Professor Hewer which took full account of the Brambell Committee's Report and later scientific advice.

I hope the House will have an early opportunity to debate these codes.
