Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (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

Had it not been for the fact that a third outbreak was detected on 12 September, we would have been much more advanced than we are today, and perhaps many would not have felt their plight so severely. When my right hon. Friend mentioned that case, he spoke of undetected infection. Is he able to tell the House how long that undetected infection had lain there before it was picked up by anyone at all?
