HC Deb 01 February 1966 vol 723 cc193-4W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware of the continued uncertainty among those engaged in intensive husbandry, following the issue of the Brambell Report; and what further action he proposes to take, following the submission of comments on the Report, so that those concerned may be aware of future policy.

Mr. Peart

I appreciate the need to treat this matter urgently, but I do not think it would be proper for me to decide what action may be necessary until the comments submitted have been fully studied. Any proposals involving legislation will be the subject of detailed consultations with interested parties.
