UK Pig Farmers

EDM number 223 in 2002-03, proposed by George Howarth on 27/11/2002.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
