As I continue to speak up for Mid Norfolk farmers and conservationists as our country is gripped by the largest bird flu epidemic it has ever faced, I have written to the new Secretary of State at DEFRA, the Rt Hon Thérèse Coffey MP to highlight the very real concerns being voiced to me locally.

Please see the letter I have sent below.

As I follow up on my previous conversations with ministers and officials, I have formally asked for an urgent meeting with the new Secretary of State and her team in order to convey the seriousness of the situation.

Rest assured, I will continue to work hard on this in the coming weeks and months.
