HC Deb 13 July 1964 vol 698 c153W
1. Mr. Prior

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what advice he has received from his veterinary officers on the practice of fitting contact lenses for chickens; and whether he is satisfied that this practice does not cause cruelty.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

I do not know of any instances of this practice here, and I have no evidence from which I could judge whether cruelty would be involved if it were introduced.
