Proceeding contribution from Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 May 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Ebola Outbreak: DRC.
Ebola Outbreak: DRC
My constituent Ben Thomas came to talk to me about this on Saturday. The combination of this terrible disease, in an area with 18 million people dominated by separate groups, as the Secretary of State described, out of Government control, with the conspiracy theories, reads like the nightmarish script of some disaster movie. How sure is he that the risk of this spreading and eventually coming to the UK is negligible, and what is he doing with other Departments to ensure that we are ready for such a possibility?
