Cabinet split over food bug cover-up

Article Abstract:

UK agriculture minister Douglas Hogg is at the centre of a heated debate over claims that a report on standards in abattoirs compiled for the ministry of agriculture's Meat Hygiene Service was suppressed. There is particular concern about the apparent failure of the government to inform Professor Hugh Pennington, who was undertaking an investigation into an outbreak of E.coli poisoning in Scotland. The report expressed concern about a wide range of hygiene issues, but these were played down in the final version.
