§ Baroness Byfordasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will reconsider their refusal to give pigswill feeders compensation, in the light of the Northumberland Trading Standards video of 24 February 2001. [HL1630]
§ Lord WhittyNo. We have not compensated farmers for other changes in feed controls and it would not be appropriate to do so for the ban on swill-feeding.
