LIVESTOCK DISEASE

That this House recognises that climate change makes Britain increasingly vulnerable to exotic animal diseases such as African Horse Sickness; notes that the spread of bluetongue disease into England is likely to have been driven by recent changes in the European climate; understands the devastating impact animal diseases of this kind have on the farming industry; and urges the Government to develop clear plans, including vaccination strategies and supplies, in order to be able to combat animal diseases as soon as they occur.
