HC Deb 02 July 1980 vol 987 c568W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many slaughterhouses there are in Powys; how many of these may be closed because of Community regulations; and whether he considers the remaining number adequate to the needs of a major livestock-rearing area.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Seventeen, none of which is affected by Community regulations. I have no evidence to suggest that there is a shortage of slaughtering capacity in Powys.
