Mr. David Steel
asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will include slaughterhouses within the regional employment premium scheme.
Mr. Booth
Since 5th August 1968 an employer operating a licensed or registered slaughterhouse, or slaughtering animals in a slaughterhouse provided by a local authority, has been entitled to payment of regional employment premium if his establishment is in a development area and satisfies the conditions for Regis- tration under Section 1 of the Selective Health and Safety Employment Payments Act 1966.
