James Evans MS urges ‘head on’ fight against bluetongue virus
James Evans has asked the Welsh Government what it is doing to tackle the spread of bluetongue in Wales.
The Brecon and Radnorshire MS asked Rural Affairs Secretary, Huw Irranca-Davies, at the Senedd last week what discussions the Government is having with the Animal and Plant Health Agency to reduce the spread of bluetongue and provide guidance for farmers now that the first cases have been found in sheep in Wales.
He said the spread of bluetongue is extremely concerning for the farming community, and it is crucial that it is dealt with “head on”.
