TALK OF BERNARD MATTHEWS COMPENSATION WOEFULLY MISPLACED - HUHNE

3.10.03pm GMT Thu 1st Mar 2007

Commenting on the news that Bernard Matthews may get up to £600,000 compensation for the loss of turkeys following the outbreak of Avian Influenza at its Suffolk plant, Liberal Democrat Shadow Defra Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said:

"Given what we know about the lapses of bio-security at Bernard Matthews' plant, talk of compensation at this stage seems woefully misplaced.

"I would prefer it if Defra were talking about fines and throwing the book at Bernard Matthews for sloppy practices and risk-taking."
