Mr JAMES HOPE. asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he can see his way to introduce legislation amending the law with regard to tuberculous cattle , so as to admit of compensation being paid in the case of cows on a milking rather than a carcase value, and relieving from criminal liability sellers in the market of beasts which they had no reason to suppose were otherwise than sound?
Mr RUNCIMAN ; The working of the Tuberculosis Order will be carefully watched by the Board and if experience shows that the present measure of compensation for the slaughter of tuberculous cattle results in hardship, I shall be prepared to consider the question of amending the Order. This can be done without legislation.If I am right in interpreting the latter part of the question as to the penalty attached to the sale of unsound meat, I must refer the hon. Gentleman on that point to my right hon. Friend the President of the Local Government Board.
Mr JAMES HOPE also asked the President whether he can see his way to introduce legislation extending to the case of PIGS the existing practice with regard to compensation for the slaughter of tuberculous cattle?
Mr RUNCIMAN The answer is in the negative.
TODAY, 100 YEARS FURTHER ON,WHAT HAS THE GREAT BRITISH PUBLIC GOT? THIS IS WHAT HAS NOW BEEN FOISTED UPON US BY A GOVERNMENT THAT DOES NOT CARE.
IT ONLY CARES THAT IT HAS BEEN ONCE AGAIN, BEEN FOUND WANTING! READ ON.
Tens of thousands of diseased cattle, slaughtered after testing for bovine tuberculosis are being SOLD for HUMAN CONSUMPTION by DEFRA 'again for emphasis' DEFRA, the food and farming ministry has said.
The raw meat from around 27.000 diseased animals a year is banned by most supermarkets (we should be told which ones are doing the opposite), and burger chains, (ditto).
Tesco for example ,rejects it because of Public Health concerns surrounding the issue of bTB and its risks to consumers.
BUT ,HERE IS THE WORST PART, it is being sold to some caterers(WHO?) and FOOD PROCESSORS(WHO?) and finding its way into SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS and the MILITARY or being processed into products such as PIES and PASTIES.
A SPOKESMAN FOR DEFRA,WHICH MAKES £100 MILLION A YEAR FROM SELLING THE INFECTED CARCASSES SAID "all meat from cattle slaughtered due to thingy must under go rigorous sppoot checks before it can be passed fut fer consumption. so there!
