My Lords, to what extent is the Department of Health involved in discussions on policy on climate change? For example, is the Minister aware that the Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus is tramping its way across the Continent at the moment? Are we prepared for it? Has Defra warned the Department of Health, as it is a vector-borne disease?

My Lords, the whole of Government are on alert for different diseases among humans. This morning I was at Wisley launching a consultation on plant diseases that have been discovered in the country only in the past five years. That may or may not be as a result of climate change or international trade, but I can assure the noble Countess that the Department of Health is fully aware and prepared for changes in the temperature and the climate as regards new diseases that will come into the country.

My Lords, can the Minister confirm that the electricity supply is now stable enough—we have all heard that it was very erratic—to operate those air-conditioning units?

My Lords, the noble Countess is correct to ask about the stability of power supplies. There has been a considerable improvement in the region around Basra. A considerable number of the population now have a stable power supply operating for 24 hours. However, it is correct to say that such power supply as is produced must be improved. The work being done through reconstruction has made a considerable impact in that area over the past year.
