Section 14 Restriction of slaughterhouses only by agreement.
England and Wales
F1(1) Nothing in, or in any instrument made under, any local Act shall make unlawful, or subject any person to any penalty by reason of, the use of any premises as a slaughterhouse or the slaughter of animals on any premises at a time when a slaughterhouse licence is in force in respect of the premises; but, with a view to reducing the number of slaughterhouses, a local authority may—
acquire by agreement any premises in their district which are used as a slaughterhouse and discontinue the use of the premises for that purpose;
agree with the person interested in any premises in the district which are used as a slaughterhouse for the discontinuance of slaughtering on those premises.
