On Thursday night the Government confirmed that Bernard Matthews will be paid almost £600,000 in compensation following the outbreak of bird flu at its Suffolk farm.
Norman Lamb, North Norfolk MP, said the real losers were the workers who were still to get their jobs back. He said: “Many people will struggle with the idea that the company gets compensation, although it is a small amount compared with the drop in sales. But for the workers, the people in the front line of this, not to get anything, is hard to justify.
