62 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if, in view of the significant delay experienced by farmers between the date an animal in a herd is identified to have BSE and the eventual slaughter of the whole herd, which can be in excess of two months, he will consider compensating such farmers for the significant outlay on feeding, veterinary and machinery costs sustained by the farmer in the interim, which is not reflected in the compensation paid to farmers for the depopulation of the herd with specific reference to the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.
