HL Deb 07 September 2004 vol 664 c156WA
Baroness Byford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Nature Conservation and Fisheries, Mr Ben Bradshaw MP, on 30 March (HC Deb, 1305W), how many of the 357 respondees to the consultation on the pigswill local feeding ban indicated that compensation should not be paid to those deprived of their livelihood. [HL3999]

Lord Whitty

The consultation document (published 27 March 2001) did not seek views on whether compensation should be paid. Therefore it is unsurprising that none of the respondees indicated that compensation should not be paid.
