Mr. Win Griffiths
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many abattoirs in England meet EC export standards; and how far each market in England is from its closest abattoir.
Mr. Soames
At present 54 abattoirs in England are approved for export to other EC member states; a list is available in the Library of the House. The proximity of markets to abattoirs varies, but the latter are spread throughout the country.
