Question

Asked by

Baroness Byford

To ask Her Majesty's Government why the Cattle Compensation Advisory Group has not convened since 2006. [HL4237]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
(Lord Davies of Oldham)

The Cattle Compensation Advisory Group, set up to help monitor the roll out of the table valuation based compensation arrangements, has not convened since 2006 because of the long running and ongoing legal challenge against this system. We have no plans to reconvene the group.
