To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps she will take to investigate the treatment of the deer in the League Against Cruel Sports sanctuary, Baronsdown on Exmoor. [108006]

Veterinary Officers from my Department have visited the Baronsdown Deer Sanctuary. I have considered the report of the visit and I am satisfied that there is no evidence of the deer exhibiting signs of ill treatment or suffering.
