Answer: Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the value to the Lancashire meat trade of the licensed movement to slaughter scheme. [157991] Ms Quin: [holding answer 10 May 2001]: We have been able to allow movement to slaughter under licence so that the risk of the spread of foot and mouth disease is reduced as far as possible. This has enabled the meat trade to resume operations but no estimate of the value of this to the Lancashire meat trade has been made.
