HC Deb 09 May 1996 vol 277 c263W
12. Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what support his Department is offering to the abattoir sector; and if he will make a statement. [27469]

Mr. Baldry

My right hon. and learned Friend announced on 16 April a £110 million package of support for the slaughtering sector. Following consultation, we have revised the operation of the stock purchase element of this scheme, in particular to maximise the help it gives to companies involved in the export trade. I am placing details in the Library.
