00:00David Chubbitt, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson.

00:02Thank you Mr Speaker. The border we share with England is a very porous one

00:07and that's of critical importance to our agricultural community in mid Wales,

00:12particularly livestock farmers whose supply chain reaches from one side to

00:17the other. She'll be aware that the farming community is very concerned

00:21about the outbreak of bluetongue. The Royal Welsh Show has already had to say

00:26no to entrants from England, so will she meet with me and the livestock markets

00:33affected in my constituency to help find a solution for them?

00:38Can I thank the Honourable Member for his question? Obviously the Royal Welsh Show is a

00:43landmark event in the calendar in Wales every year. I'd be very happy to offer

00:48him a meeting with the Minister at the Wales office.
