HC Deb 11 December 1985 vol 88 c691W
28. Mr. Allen Adams

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what assessment he has made of the implications of the regulations governing the skinning of sheep's heads in EEC abattoirs in Scotland for the relative competitiveness of such abattoirs in England and Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John MacKay

Abattoirs in both Scotland and England which are approved to participate in intracommunity trade are required to skin sheep heads.
