PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
UK PIG FARMERS (27 November 2002)
Motion Details
That this House expresses its strong concern at the plight of pig farmers affected by the ban on the use of pigswill; notes that many of those concerned have invested in expensive pigswill preparation plants and equipment in order to comply with the relevant regulations; further notes the precedents created for decommissioning in the fishing and mink industries; and calls on the Government to institute a compensation scheme for pig farmers equivalent to those for fishing vessel owners and mink farmers.
