Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Pedigree Herds).

HC Deb 02 November 1911 vol 30 cc1150-1W

Mr. FIENNES

asked whether, in the event of an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease occurring in a pedigree herd or flock, compensation for slaughter would be paid upon the pedigree value or upon butchers' value?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Compensation for animals slaughtered by order of the Board on account of foot-and-mouth disease is based on the actual value, which is not necessarily butcher's value.
