HC Deb 29 June 2000 vol 352 c611W
22. Mr. Sawford

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he is taking to maintain the continued viability of small and medium-sized abattoirs; and if he will make a statement. [127053]

Ms Quin

I am well aware of the position of small and medium sized abattoirs. Meat inspection charges are a matter for the Food Standards Agency.
