HC Deb 17 June 1976 vol 913 cc205-6W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the likely total of redundancies that will result from the implementation of EEC Directive 71/118.

Mr. Strang

There are likely to be marginal changes in employment in the industry over the next five years but we do not expect any significant net reduction in total employment as a result of the new health requirements. There should be no reduction in the total amount of poultry meat produced.
