LANCASHIRE Liberal Democrats, led by Pendle County Councillor David Whipp, are renewing appeals for a public inquiry into the foot and mouth crisis.
Coun Whipp, Lancashire's Liberal Democrat leader, said: "The Government now accepts that they were wrong.
"It was wrong to demand the closure of footpaths throughout the country and wrong not to vaccinate. Surely this admission of wrong doing demands a full public inquiry."
Liberal Democrats on the LCC pressed for a public inquiry earlier this year, but failed to win support from the controlling Labour group.
