Summary
Government funding of pounds 20m for the National Fallen Stock Scheme has been extended by one year to November 2008. The extension followed publication of an independent review of the National Fallen Stock Scheme by Bob Bansback, former corporate strategy director of the Meat and Livestock Commission, and a visiting professor at Harper Adams University College in Shropshire.
The current three-year funding period was due to end in November next year. The extension will allow the Government and the farming industry to use existing funding over a longer period to ensure there is a smooth transition to a post-subsidy scheme.See the full content of this document
