NFU PRESIDENT TO UPDATE PRIME MINISTER ON FOOT AND
MOUTH
NFU President Ben Gill will this morning update
the Prime Minister on the current situation with foot and mouth.
Mr Gill will attend the meeting with representatives from several farming
organisations, including farming leaders NFU Cymru Wales President Hugh
Richards, NFU Scotland President Jim Walker and Douglas Rowe, President of
Ulster Farmers' Union.
The 11.30am Downing Street meeting will cover the current welfare scheme and
the new foot and mouth outbreaks.
Mr Gill says: "It is vitally important to keep the Prime Minister fully
informed of the situation, and of the many problems the farming community is
facing.
"The countryside is in crisis and we want to make sure this terrible
disease remains at the top of the Government's agenda."
