HC Deb 12 December 1973 vol 866 cc157-8W
24. Miss Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will now take steps to ban the use of battery cages for pigs.

Mrs. Fenner

No. We have received advice from the Farm Animal Welfare Advisory Committee and we have already taken the action we considered appropriate. We will be watching this carefully and I will not hesitate to take further action if necessary.
