Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 October 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue.
Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue
We do not have a vaccine at present, but consumers regularly eat other meat from vaccinated animals, including poultry, so I am not sure that there would be a difficulty. Concerns have been raised about access to slaughterhouses. From yesterday, it is possible for animals to be moved to slaughterhouses outside the bluetongue control and protection zones in England, and I hope that that will respond to the most urgent representations and make a big difference.
