§ Sir R. Russellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the fact that some factory farmers are rearing pigs in total darkness, if he will take steps to ensure that further publicity is given to the codes of practice.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartA Press notice was issued yesterday announcing that revised welfare codes are now available and that the distribution of copies to livestock keepers and others is under way. We do not however think that special publicity on one particular aspect of the code for pigs is justified.
