HC Deb 12 December 1989 vol 163 c590W
Dr. Kim Howells

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the implications for members of the Licensed Slaughterers and Animal Salvage Association of new Common Market health regulations.

Mr. Maclean

The proposal, if implemented as drafted, would have severe implications for members of the Licensed Slaughterers and Animal Salvage Association. We are therefore liaising closely with them in seeking arrangements to secure their long-term future under any new Community rules.
