Proceeding contribution from Baroness Shephard of Northwold (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Avian Flu.


Avian Flu

My Lords, the noble Lord mentioned discussions with stakeholders, as he called them, about the possible necessity of bringing free range flocks indoors. Can he give the House some indication of the numbers that would be involved; in other words, the percentage of the national flock? As a subdivision of that percentage and those numbers, can he give some idea of the number of organic producers involved? Clearly, the question of compensation for expenses involved in such a move will arise in his discussions with stakeholders.
