HC Deb 11 June 1969 vol 784 c262W
64. Mr. Pounder

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many poultry packing firms have not yet implemented the requirements of the slaughter of Poultry Act, 1964, regarding electric stunning prior to bleeding; and what steps he is taking to ensure compliance with the Act.

Mr. John Mackie

Proposals have been published for bringing the Act into operation and making regulations this year. Until then, the question of compliance does not arise.
