England's farming crisis is continuing with test results expected on cattle slaughtered on suspicion of foot and mouth disease.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said that the cattle were at a farm in Surrey within the existing foot and mouth protection zone.
Tests will be carried out on samples taken from the animals to establish if they had the disease.
Permanent bluetongue control zones have also come into force comprising parts of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.
The wider protection zone includes London and parts of Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Surrey, East Sussex and West Sussex. Different movement restrictions apply within the zones, mainly to the movement of cattle.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown indicated that farmers affected by the bluetongue outbreak will receive help - financial or otherwise - from the Government.
"Hilary Benn will within the next few days consult with the farming industry all over the country," he said.
"He will look at the financial consequences of what's been happening, he will look at what the European Commission is going to be able to do to help us."
His comments came after Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer Fred Landeg said there would be no compensation for farmers due to bluetongue, because animals were not being culled.
With 11 cases confirmed, bluetongue was officially classed as an "outbreak". All are within the bluetongue control zone with 10 in a cluster around the Ipswich area and the 11th close to Lowestoft, Suffolk.
