Adrian Ramsay, Green MP for Waveney and Terry Jermy, Labour MP for South West Norfolk, have both called for action to improve welfare standards at livestock farms.

It follows a Daily Mail investigation which discovered staff abusing piglets at Somerby Top Farm in Lincolnshire over a 10-month period.

The farm is operated by Cranswick, one of the biggest producers of meat in the country, which has several sites in Norfolk.

The fresh abuse allegations come three months after another Cranswick farm, Northmoor Farm in Lincolnshire, also became the focus of animal abuse allegations.
