§ Mr. Peter DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many qualified valuers were paid(a) per day and (b) per valuation during the foot and mouth outbreak. [84165]
§ Mr. MorleyDuring the foot and mouth outbreak, qualified valuers were paid on a per day basis, not on a per valuation basis. Therefore, the Department does not have a record of the number of valuers broken down into these two categories. There are a number of legal disputes with valuers who are claiming on a per valuation basis.
