Mr. Luff: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the impact of the fall in domestic
consumption of beef and the European Union world-wide ban on British beef exports on the United Kingdom dairy farming sector.
[27479]
Mr. Baldry: The crisis of confidence in British beef and the EU ban on UK beef exports will have affected the dairy sector in
several ways. Continental markets for surplus dairy calves have been lost completely and markets at home for beef calves and store
cattle knocked back. As a result of the export ban, and national measures to keep out of the human food chain meat from animals aged
more than 30 months, there is no longer any market outlet for dairy cows which have reached the end of their productive lives.
Measures which provide alternative outlet for male pure-bred dairy calves and cattle aged over 30 months have announced by my right
hon. Friend on the 28 March and 16 April respectively.

Mr. Garrett: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many BSE-infected cow carcases have been dumped in the
Attlebridge tip in Norfolk.[27410]
Mrs. Browning: [holding answer 2 May 1996]:
Approximately 360 carcases of BSE suspect animals were disposed of at the Attlebridge tip between September 1988 and December 1990.
No carcases have been disposed there since 1990. Only three BSE carcases have been disposed of by burial since the end of 1991;
these were all on remote sites where the preferred option-- incineration in specialist plant--was not practicable.

Mr. Coe: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what financial support will be provided to the United Kingdom beef
producers and slaughtering sector.[25930]
Mr. Douglas Hogg: I refer my hon. Friend to the statement I made on 16 April 1996, Official Report, columns 513-16.
In addition to the support measures previously announced, particularly for the rendering industry and for the slaughter of young
bull calves, the measures set out below have now been implemented. Parliamentary approval for additional provision and for the
funding of new services will be sought in supplementary estimates for class III vote 1, intervention board--executive agency: common
agricultural policy market support and administration, and class III vote 2, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food:
operational expenditure, agencies and departmental administration. Pending that approval, urgent expenditure estimated at £190
million will be met by repayable advances from the Contingencies Fund.
1. Supplementary compensation payments on steers and heifers--older beef cattle whose market value is greater than cull cows.
Cost: £80 million on class III vote 1. An advance from the Contingencies Fund of the full amount is required.
2. Emergency aid to the slaughtering industry, comprising two elements: (i) immediate payment to slaughterhouses calculated on the
basis of bovines slaughtered during 1995-96. Cost: £30 million on class III vote 2. (ii) purchase of unsaleable stocks of beef held
by licensed slaughterhouses and cutting premises. Cost: £80 million on class III vote 1.
An advance from the Contingencies Fund of the full amount-- £110 million--is required.
3. Scheme to purchase beasts over 30 months old and to dispose of their carcases safely to prevent beef from these cattle from
entering the human food chain.
Cost: £550 million on class III vote 1, 70 per cent. of compensation payments to be funded by the EU.

That this House is alarmed that the Government is set to slaughter thousands of cows without proof that they are the ones infected with BSE, whilst other cattle will go undetected; notes that this action ignores the work of Dr Harash Narang, formerly of the Public Health Service Laboratory, who has developed two simple and effective tests to detect the presence of BSE in live and dead animals; believes that the Government is more concerned with being seen to do something to buy-off public opinion, rather than identifying, as far as is possible, actual instances of infection and taking effective action to deal with them; and calls upon the Government to make full use of Dr Narang's tests in any programme of slaughtering cattle, or to provide sound scientific evidence against them.
