Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many TB reactor cattle were taken to each abattoir in the last 12 months.

There are seven premises that are contracted by the Animal and Plant Health Agency to slaughter TB reactor cattle.

Between 1 November 2015 and 31 October 2016 36,689 TB reactor cattle were slaughtered in England and Wales.

A producer can choose to send cattle to a non-contracted approved slaughterhouse. Between 1 November 2015 and 31 October 2016, 230 TB reactor cattle were slaughtered in non-contracted TB reactor slaughterhouses in England and Wales.
