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.
