Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue

I am very grateful indeed to the Secretary of State. When I and a number of other Members met representatives of the National Farmers Union Scotland this morning, we had to ask more than 20 times before they eventually confessed that they have not actually asked the Scottish Executive for any money. In those circumstances, is not it either astonishingly naive or deliberately mischievous for some Opposition Members to say that it is all Westminster's responsibility when in fact the Scottish Executive have recently been given more than £1 billion of unspent money from previous years?
