Assembly members in row over Scotland trip

Members of the Stormont Assembly were today accused of ignoring Department of Agriculture foot-and-mouth precautions by travelling to Scotland.

There were angry scenes at the Stormont Agriculture Committee when John Dallat (SDLP, East Londonderry) singled out fellow member Gardner Kane (DUP, North Antrim) for agreeing to go ahead with a trip to Stranraer on Monday.
