HC Deb 19 November 1970 vol 806 c479W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state the organisations which he intends to consult in his proposed revision of the farm animal welfare codes; what form these consultations will take; and what period he will allow such organisations to make known their views.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The consultation will be by correspondence with the organisations consulted on the draft codes in September, 1968. They will be requested to furnish their observations on the proposed code revisions within a period of approximately two months from the date of circulation.
