§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information and statistics he has about the numbers of farmers continuing to operate veal crate systems despite the voluntary code of practice on the matter.
§ Mrs. FennerWe believe that the number of establishments using veal crates has declined in recent years. The state veterinary service is currently carrying out a survey on the use of the veal crate system in Great Britain. I shall reply to my hon. Friend in due course when this information is available.
