	tabling member constituency	Westmorland and Lonsdale
	tabling member printed	Tim Farron
	uin	151126
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2018 answer text <p>The Government values the important role that small and medium sized abattoirs play in meeting the needs of specialist livestock producers, and those in the more remote areas of the country. An adequate network of abattoirs throughout England is important for supporting livestock production, and we are aware of the decline in their numbers over recent years. This is a result of consolidation in the retail sector and a drive for greater efficiency and higher meat hygiene standards in abattoirs. These are commercial considerations outside of the Government’s control. The Government is nevertheless keen that an appropriate network of abattoirs continues to support sustainable livestock production. However, we cannot influence farmers on where they choose to send their livestock for slaughter, because this is a personal choice and is dictated by ease of access and costs.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice grouped question UIN 151127 question first answered 13/06/2018 15:00:57 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
