The UK is facing its largest ever outbreak of bird flu, devastating local bird and poultry populations and having enormous impacts upon our local farming and conservationist communities. 
 
That’s why I am working closely with local stakeholders, as well as the NFU, to raise the issues being faced with ministers and officials at DEFRA.  
 
These are key sectors in our local economy and for our tourism and environmental welfare. I am determined to do all I can to support Mid Norfolk through this difficult time and I am following up with the DEFRA ministerial team again this week.  

I look forward to providing further updates soon.
