Compensation is paid according to published table values for any cattle compulsorily culled to control the spread of the following diseases:

• bovine TB
• brucellosis
• enzootic bovine leukosis

In the guide to compensation for animals culled to control animal diseases, you can read about how the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) gathers information for the tables.

This publication page provides value tables for historical compensation claims and for reference.

Compensation tables for 2017 and earlier can be found on the National Archives website.

The legislative means by which radioactive substances are regulated in the United Kingdom differ according to devolved administration; however, the effects of the legislation are consistent.

This guidance, aimed at environmental regulators and users, sets out:

• the rationale underpinning the exemptions regime for England, Wales and Northern Ireland
• how government intends the regime to be interpreted and implemented
• the means by which the objectives of the exemptions regime should be delivered.

This guidance does not apply to Scotland.

Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) inspectors carry out checks, in England and Wales, to ensure eggs for the table egg market meet Class A standards and comply European Union legislation.

The inspectors:

• check batches of eggs for quality, weight and labelling
• inspect farms to ensure free range, barn and cage producers comply with welfare, hygiene and registration regulations and that eggs are produced in the system claimed
• check that an annual Salmonella sample is tested as part of the National Control Programme
• collect egg samples to test for residue of medicines

Failure to meet the minimum legal standards for egg quality and weight, may result in a notice of contravention being served on the whole batch of eggs. This prevents further marketing until satisfactory compliance with regulations can be demonstrated.

APHA does not regulate egg production and distribution in Scotland. See the Scottish Government website for information on egg inspections in Scotland.
