MLC suspends inspectors
THE Meat and Livestock Commission (MLC) has suspended four inspectors following allegations that false information was given about numbers of older cattle
destroyed in a Welsh incinerator plant under the emergency BSE controls.
The allegations came to light at a public inquiry on Tuesday, in Wrexham, regarding a planning application to expand incinerators on the outskirts of the
town.
The MLC said forms used by its employees in their internal procedures had
been examined and appeared to show fewer carcasses destroyed than those arriving
at the plant. The MLC monitors incinerator plants as agent for the Intervention Board.
