Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. Minister, can we some more details of a response plan should foot-and-mouth disease come to Northern Ireland? We can all recall when it came back in 2001 and the devastation that it caused, particularly to the economy. Does he have any plans to deal with that, particularly for compensation, should we find ourselves in a similar position?
