HC Deb 07 December 1984 vol 69 cc288-9W
43. Sir Michael Shaw

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress is being made by the Farm Animal Welfare Council on the revision of the codes of practice.

Mrs. Fenner

The council has completed its revisions of the welfare codes. Revised codes for cattle and pigs were published in 1983. As regards the poultry codes, I refer to the reply given on 22 November at c. 247 to my hon. Friend the Member for Hereford (Mr. Shepherd).
