Motion Text

That this House notes the conclusions of the latest independent inquiry into the Government's handling of the foot and mouth crisis which accuses ministers of 'ineptitude', unpardonable delays in decision making' and 'massive dereliction of duty'; and believes that the Government's devastating mixture of confusion, incompetence and incoherence is damaging the interests of farmers throughout the United Kingdom.
