HC Deb 14 December 1995 vol 268 c829W
20. Dr. Spink

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he has taken to promote the slaughter of farm animals before transport. [4148]

Mrs. Browning

We have an excellent record on meat products, which are well up on last year, when they exceeded live exports in value terms by a factor of nearly 7:1. We are working with the industry and the Meat and Livestock Commission to convert even more of the trade in live animals to a trade in meat.
