§ 56. Mr. Burdenasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent the broiler calf industry is expanding in this country; and what steps he has taken to ensure that calves reared in broiler houses are provided with reasonable periods of natural daylight, have reasonable freedom of movement and receive a balanced diet which does not induce anaemia.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsI have no evidence that any expansion is taking place in the intensive rearing of calves for veal. As to the second part of the Question, I cannot add anything to the reply given to my hon. Friend on 19th November last.
