§ Diana OrganTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what estimate she has made of the amount of funds from(a) the BSE control and monitoring schemes, (b) the over 30 months scheme casualty collection service and (c) the fallen stock TSE surveillance scheme which would be used for a national scheme for collection and disposal of fallen stock. [107595]
§ Mr. MorleyWe are already contributing nearly £30 million annually for the collection and disposal of fallen stock for TSE testing purposes. We envisage utilising, and building on the existing infrastructure to form a wider service which will reduce the costs to the industry.
