HL Deb 27 June 2000 vol 614 cc71-2WA
Baroness Anelay of St Johns

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What method they will use to estimate the impact of the revised Standards of Modern Zoo Practice (published in March) on the operation of farm attractions; and when they expect such a study to be completed. [HL2943]

Lord Whitty

I refer the noble Baroness to the Answer I gave her on 8 May, (Official Report, col. WA 209). It is too early to assess the impact of the Revised Secretary of State's Standards of Modern Zoo Practice, which came into effect on 3 April 2000.
