Liberal Democrats welcome easing of livestock movements
Following the Defra announcement of the loosening of animal movement restrictions yesterday evening, farm animals can be taken to abattoirs for the first time today since the foot-and-mouth outbreak in Surrey led to a ban on the movement of livestock last week.
