HC Deb 17 January 1984 vol 71 c197W
26. Mr. Jackson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with present standards of treatment of livestock on farms.

Mrs. Fenner

The maintenance of satisfactory standards of welfare of farm animals requires continuing effort on the part of livestock keepers. I believe that the great majority of livestock keepers do this. My Department will also continue to give priority to all aspects of its work on animal welfare.
