Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs | Answered on 09/07/2025
The FSA has updated Welsh Government on the progress of work underway to evaluate the discount scheme for charges for official controls (inspections) in meat premise and has recently set out a clear rationale for continued support to elements of the abattoir sector. The FSA and Welsh Government officials have engaged with stakeholders in Wales and will continue to do so over future months.
