Proceeding contribution from Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Foot and Mouth Disease and Bluetongue.
Foot and Mouth Disease and Bluetongue
My Lords, I declare an interest as I have rare breed breeding sheep going to Murton market on Saturday and Skipton market on Sunday. Does the Minister agree with me that market staff, as well as the farming community, have also had very many difficulties? Would it not be safer to have the animal research laboratories on town sites rather than near farms? As regards bluetongue, does the female midge spread the disease as the female mosquito spreads malaria?
