Proceeding contribution from Eric Martlew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue.


Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue

It was very interesting that the Secretary of State mentioned the vaccine for bluetongue. As he is aware, Cumbria was in the middle of the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak, which was a major outbreak. There was a lot of debate at that time about vaccination. That was rejected then, and it appears that vaccination has been rejected once more. Will the Secretary of State tell me why it has been rejected and under what circumstances we will use vaccine in the future?
