§ Mr. David Steelasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which abattoirs on the continent of Europe using methods of slaughter prohibited in the United Kingdom are contained in his Department's list of abattoirs approved for the slaughter of British livestock.
§ Mrs. FennerMy Department does not approve continental abattoirs for the slaughter of livestock from the United Kingdom. Animals exported for immediate slaughter may be sent to any 339W abattoir within 100 km. of the port of disembarkation, but on arrival there must be stunned by prescribed methods before slaughter.
