Minister, I have heard many calls from people in our rural communities who believe that it is now time to make CCTV compulsory in our abattoirs, as it is in England. Whilst I understand the reasons for the introduction of a voluntary scheme, can the Minister confirm how many abattoirs in Wales now have CCTV, and how many are without it? And, in doing so, what assessment has she made of the impact of the current scheme? Thank you.
