Welsh vote on beef ban next week

Meanwhile, The Herald
reports that members of the new Scottish parliament also look set to come under pressure to lift the beef ban following the lead taken in Wales.A former Scottish president of the Royal Environmental Health Institute, has attacked the governments beef-on-the-bone ban as a “farce”, says the paper.
John Milne told a conference in Dunblane that the ban was a “hastily put together, ill thought out and totally unusable piece of legislation”.
