Clause 1 - Foot-and-mouth disease
Animal Health Bill
9:30 am
Mr Bill Wiggin (Leominster, Conservative)
I was interested to hear the Minister's veterinary advice, because we all know that there is no way that foot and mouth was introduced to this country through a live animal. It was much more likely to have been introduced through infected meat, and the idea that meat is not infectious is highly implausible.
