HC Deb 17 May 1984 vol 60 cc264-5W
Mr. Maclean

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what other countries in the European Economic Community permit ritual slaughter; what information he has as to how many slaughterings there were in each country in the last year for which figures are available; and what percentage of their slaughterings went for export.

Mrs. Fenner

My most recent information is that slaughter by religious methods is permitted in all member states except Greece. I have no information on the number of slaughterings by these methods or the percentage of such slaughterings exported.
