HC Deb 22 May 2000 vol 350 c353W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the closure of the Mead Webber meat processing plant at Eardisley in Herefordshire. [122956]

Ms Stuart

An independent investigation on the closure of the Mead Webber plant has been agreed following discussions between the Meat Hygiene Service Chief Executive and a representative of Mead Webber Ltd.

It would be inappropriate to comment further until this investigation has been completed.
