Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what his policy is on the increase and expansion of intensive broiler factories.

A vibrant poultry sector is a crucial part of our ongoing work to make sure the UK continues to have access to the food we all need. Farms of all sizes have a role to play in promoting a sustainable agricultural sector. All operational livestock farms, no matter the size or system of production, must comply with our comprehensive laws on animal health and welfare, planning, veterinary medicines and environmental legislation.
