Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:50 pm on 20 September 2017.
Well, I think it’s a real shame that, whilst Wales is advocating a ‘let’s wait for Westminster’ approach, the Scottish Government, for example, have got on with the job and already introduced a Bill, which is working its way through their legislative process.
Now, another priority highlighted in the implementation plan is in relation to welfare of animals at the time of slaughter. Following on from the UK Government’s announcement on CCTV installed in all English slaughterhouses, can you tell us what the Welsh Government is doing to ensure that a high standard of welfare for animals is kept in Wales, including at the point of slaughter, and will you now commit to seeing CCTV installed at all slaughterhouses here in Wales?
