Second beef-on-the-bone man to be prosecuted

AN English pub landlord, Alan Cooper of Iden, East Sussex, will be charged for flouting the beef-on-the-bone ban after environmental health officers – posing as customers – ordered T-bone steaks in his hotel.

Mr Cooper is the second person to be charged under the new act after Scottish hotel owner and farmer Jim Sutherland was caught serving slices of beef-on-the-bone to farmers at a Prohibition Dinner shortly after the law came into effect.
