Payments To Beef Farmers (EDM199)

Payments To Beef Farmers

EDM number 199 in 1997-98, proposed by Charles Kennedy on 02/07/1997.

That this House condemns the moves made by Her Majesty's Government to cut the compensation payments to beef farmers while at the same time imposing a maximum weight per animal, which adds insult to injury to farmers who have already suffered greatly; notes that since the introduction of the over thirty month scheme in May 1996 the compensation for slaughtered cows has been cut by a third; and believes that these changes are Treasury driven and have not been made with the well-being of British agriculture in mind.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
