Pirbright foot and mouth report is shocking - Webb
Responding to the findings of the independent inquiry into the foot-and-mouth outbreak last year at Pirbright, Liberal Democrat
Shadow Defra Secretary, Steve Webb said:
"This is a shocking report.
"The many different bodies which have a hand in regulating Pirbright clearly failed in their collective duty.
"Whilst accidents do happen, the evidence here is of a long-term poorly managed establishment.
"What is more worrying is that with Defra slashing its budgets the potential for future outbreaks may actually have increased."
