Abattoirs (Hansard, 19 October 1994)

HC Deb 19 October 1994 vol 248 c251W 251W

§ Mr. Morley
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many licensed(a) red meat and (b) poultry abattoirs there were in each of the last five years.

§ Mrs. Browning
Until 1993, abattoirs in Great Britain were not licensed centrally by Agriculture Departments. The following figures for abattoirs licensed by local authorities are derived from records of state veterinary service visits and are therefore approximate.
The number of licensed abattoirs in England and Wales in each of the last five years was:
