Schedule 2 - Scrapie
Animal Health Bill

Mrs Angela Browning (Tiverton and Honiton, Conservative)
Amendment No. 135 suggests that compensation should be paid at the level of 200 per cent. where animals are mistakenly slaughtered in the owner's absence. Animals that graze on open moorland or uplands might well be mistakenly slaughtered. I hope that it would be some comfort to owners to know that they would be properly reimbursed if that happened.
