The issues raised in the correspondence referred to have been previously addressed directly to the correspondents. I have clearly outlined my position to all concerned parties on these issues and I have also made it clear that neither I nor my Department will be drawn into an intra-organisation dispute. Nor will I allow the important work of the Beef Taskforce to be used as leverage in any such dispute.
