Labour — York Outer

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Foot and Mouth Disease

Contribution

It is the critical work of the Animal and Plant Health Agency in Weybridge, which I visited recently, that will prevent foot and mouth from reaching our shores. The £200 million for the agency that the Government have announced is welcome, but will my hon. Friend commit himself to reviewing its funding, particularly in the event of multiple concurrent diseases?
