HC Deb 18 May 1981 vol 5 c14W
Miss Fookes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that the Welfare of Livestock (Intensive Units) Regulations 1978 are being adhered to by farmers; and if there have been any prosecutions for non-adherence to the Welfare of Livestock (Intensive Units) Regulations 1978 since their introduction.

Mr. Wiggin

The requirements of these regulations form a normal part of good husbandry practice in this country, and I am satisfied that they are observed by the great majority of farmers. My Department has assisted in two prosecutions taken under these regulations.
