FWi WEEKLY NEWS ALERT

Editors's Comment

Editor

Junior DEFRA minister Lord Rooker has dashed industry hopes that an 80% advance could be made on 2007 single farm payments to ease cash flow problems caused by livestock movement restrictions. Farmers’ groups issued a joint statement expressing their extreme disappointment to the news.

Meanwhile, DEFRA has lifted foot-and-mouth disease movement restrictions in most parts of the country. However, bluetongue movement controls remain firmly in place.

Kind regards,
Andrew Watts
