Defra to reconsider mandatory CCTV in UK abattoirs after Bowood halal exposé
"Compulsory CCTV in UK abattiors could be back on the cards, after the government this week signalled it was open to reconsidering its stance on the issue."
" It had previously rejected a mandatory rollout, but following an expose by Animal Aid this week - which showed animals being abused in secret footage obtained at Bowood abattior in Yorkshire - Defra farming minister George Eustice said it was weighing up the pros and cons afresh."
""The last time the government looked at the issue, which was in 2012, we concluded that mandatory CCTV was not the right way to go" he told a House of Commons debate on 3 Februaury. "However, I have always been clear that we keep the issue under review and that I have an mind."
