Answer

Public consultation on a revised Code of Welfare for Pigs and associated regulations took place from 29 April 2022 to 8 July 2022. No further consultation with the public is planned for the Code, but I have committed to further targeted consultation with various groups and the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee.
