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


Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue

Given that the bluetongue virus has been at large on the continent for several years, is there not an extensive body of research and best practice that we can draw down from our continental partners, so that we can learn more quickly how to either eradicate the midge, or create a proper vaccine? Surely we do not have to reinvent the wheel on our own.
