HC Deb 07 March 1989 vol 148 c462W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he intends to take any action to prohibit farming systems for the intensive rearing of red deer; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Donald Thompson

I have no plans to prohibit such farming systems. However, I will ask the state veterinary service to check on welfare should any system of continuous deer housing be employed.
