Could be, but he's referring to his own country.

House of Commons Research briefing SN07108 on "Religious Slaughter of Animals".
Quote:
As regards religious slaughter, the Government has decided that in implementing the new
EU regulations it will:35
Retain existing national rules in relation to religious slaughter [these provide greater protection than the EU Regulation].36 These rules limit slaughter without prior stunning to the slaughter of bovine animals, sheep, goats and birds by a Jew for the food of Jews or by a Muslim for the food of Muslims.

Hansard record of House of Commons debate
Quote:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (George Eustice):
I will pick up on some of the issues that other hon. Members have raised. First, however, I will underline the Government’s position today, which builds on the long-standing position we have adopted in this country. Our position is that we would prefer that all animals are stunned before slaughter, but we recognise and respect the needs of religious communities, so we have always maintained this limited exemption, which is to be used only for meat produced for Jewish and Muslim communities.
