Chris Huhne
Liberal Democrat MP for Eastleigh
H5N1 proposals welcome
Commenting on the measures announced by Scotland’s Environment and Rural Development Minister, Ross Finnie MSP, Liberal Democrat shadow Environment, Food and Rural Affairs secretary, Chris Huhne MP, said:
“The arrival of avian flu was only a matter of time given its spread westwards across Europe, and it is right that it should trigger precautions but not panic.
“Ross Finnie has announced a sensible set of proposals to deal with the matter and protect poultry from infection by wild birds, and we should continue to monitor the situation closely on both sides of the border”.
