Answer
Public consultation on a revised Code of Welfare for Pigs and associated regulations took place from 29 April 2022 to 8 July 2022. The Ministry for Primary Industries engaged in a targeted stakeholder engagement process between March 2024 and March 2025. I have committed to further consultation with various groups and the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee.
