Flooding (North Yorkshire)

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will relax the three day notice period on movements given in North Yorkshire following the flooding.
Answer

It is a requirement under the Disease Control (England) Order 2003 that livestock movements are reported within three days of the movement taking place.We have not been asked to relax this reporting period due to flooding in North Yorkshire, but we would treat any requests we receive to do so sympathetically, where the farmer concerned is suffering hardship.
