Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue

Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 October 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Foot and Mouth/Bluetongue.
Unfortunately, some of us have acquired a lot of expertise in drains over the past couple of months. Following the episodes in the summer, does my right hon. Friend agree that we need to consider new arrangements at a range of different sites, including establishments such as Berkeley in my constituency—a former nuclear station—given the likely threat of floods hitting us again in future? Will he assure me that not only biosecurity but structural measures will be increased to ensure that such episodes do not threaten us time after time?
