LEIGH Euro MP Terry Wynn has published a guide designed to dispel rumours about mad cow disease.

The three page guide - 'British Beef: Your questions answered" - was published by the MEP following a recent Goverment disclosure that there may be a link between BSE in cows and Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease in humans.

It offers brief but factual answers to questions which are surrounding Britain's biggest ever food scare.

Mr Wynn. who is still eating beef, said:"I have received so many queries about BSE I thought it would be useful to publish a brief guide which sets out the basic facts."

To get a free copy of the the guide write to Terry Wynn at The European Office, 105 Corporation Street, St Helens, WA10 1SX or telephone 01744 451609.
