HC Deb 30 October 1996 vol 284 c180W
Mr. Ainger

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many casualty dairy cows were slaughtered in each month of 1995 and 1996. [912]

Mrs. Browning

The number of casualty cattle handled under the over thirty months scheme are as follows for each month since the scheme began on 13 May 1996:

Number
May 3,775
June 8,749
July 13,446
August 12,658
September 15,363
October (up to 28 October) 12,793

These figures do not differentiate between dairy and beef cattle.

The Ministry does not hold central records of the number of dairy cows slaughtered as casualties.
