The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends to provide compensation to those with gra'ing lets who have lost income directly due to the ban on movement of livestock to gra'ing pastures and, if so, how that compensation will be calculated and when it will be paid.
The answer
At present there is no provision to pay compensation for loss of income through grazings not being let on account of foot-and-mouth disease. This will be looked at when assessing the wider financial impact of foot and mouth.
