13. Mr. Lewis

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what procedures he intends to implement in order to improve the conditions under which battery hens are kept.

Mr. Soames

The Government's policy is that welfare standards for all systems of keeping hens should be set on a Community basis. We are pressing for major improvements in the current Community directive on battery hens.
