§ Mr. WrayTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many plants processing and producing feedingstuffs for chickens are in(a) England and (b) Wales; and what is the precise location of each one.
§ Mr. Donald Thompson[holding answer 10 January 1989]: Ninety-one protein processing plants in England and three in Wales produce animal protein for incorporation into animal feedingstuffs including feeding-stuffs for chickens. Information on the identity of the plants is collected by my Department in order to carry out inspections as provided for by statute. It would be wrong to disclose such data for purposes other than those for which they were collected.
