HC Deb 26 January 1983 vol 35 c472W
Sir Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether his Department has records of the number of times calves pass through auction markets.

Mrs. Fenner

No. Both the Ministry and the Farm Animal Welfare Council are considering a proposal, made by the British Veterinary Association, on animal health and welfare grounds, that the repeat marketing of calves should be limited.
