FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

Early day motion 65, tabled 23 November 2004 by James Paice (Conservative). Signed by 60 members.

That this House believes the Government's failure to submit the video taken by Northumberland Trading Standards of the conditions on Burnside Farm to the Anderson Inquiry seriously undermines its claim to want to uncover the truth behind the foot and mouth outbreak; suggests that the Government is more concerned with protecting itself than finding out how the disease got onto Burnside Farm in the first place; and demands a clear explanation from the Government as to how Ministers could claim that the video contained no new evidence if they had not seen it.

Signatures by party: Conservative 54, Liberal Democrat 3, Independent Conservative 1, Labour 1.
