Subject: [farmtalking] RE: C & D contractors still not paid

 Tim Russ, head of its agricultural team, said: "I wonder who will clean up if a farm is infected by foot-and-mouth, because no contractor will now work for Defra due to this non-payment."

PROBABLY WHAT THE GOV WANTS.....WON'T BE ABLE TO RE-STOCK THEREFORE END OF FARM.

"Part of the responsibilities we have at Defra is to maintain fiscal control over taxpayers'money.

"Since questions were raised about whether these amounts were a valid use

of public funds everything needs to be validated.We are not just going to shell out willy-nilly."

THIS DIDN'T BOTHER THEM WHEN THEY WERE BUSY WASTING IT ON THE SO CALLED POLICY!
