asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Whitty on 6 May (WA 134), whether any part of the total disputed £55.4 million following the foot and mouth disease outbreak is due to be paid to the Government by the European Union; and whether the disputes may adversely affect that sum.

No part of the total disputed £55.4 million following the foot and mouth disease outbreak is due to be paid to the Government by the European Union. The claim to the European Union relates to invoices which are not in dispute and accordingly the disputes do not adversely affect sums payable by the European Union.
