Dr. John Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list in the Official Report the number and location of new abattoirs built in Scotland in 1979, 1980 and 1981, indicating which, if any, received financial support from his Department or from the Highland and Islands Development Board.

Mr. Younger

Seven new slaughterhouses were built in Scotland in the years 1979 to 1981 as follows:

  • 1980
  • Bridge of Allan
  • Boddam, Shetland
  • Mull
  • 1981
  • Edinburgh
  • Kirkwall, Orkney
  • Perth
  • Stronsay, Orkney

Of these, Boddam, Mull, Stronsay and Kirkwall have received assistance from the Highlands and Islands Development Board. My Department has given financial support to none of these projects.
