Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Funding to support small- and medium-sized slaughterhouses to install and upgrade CCTV systems was available through the Welsh Government’s Food Business Investment Scheme.
A 12 week public consultation on proposals to require CCTV in all slaughterhouses in areas where live animals are present was launched on 14 November: Closed-circuit television (CCTV) in slaughterhouses | GOV.WALES
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) monitors and enforces compliance with animal welfare legislation in slaughterhouses. Under our proposals, this would include the requirements for slaughterhouses to install CCTV.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) has been published with the consultation. The RIA assesses the financial and practical impacts of our proposals on affected parties including industry and the public sector.
