Calls for Wales-wide housing order to tackle bird flu
Welsh Conservative Samuel Kurtz, Shadow Rural Affairs Minister and MS for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, called for a Wales-wide housing order. Kurtz originally called for an order on Tuesday during the Minister’s statement, updating the Senedd on the spread of avian flu in Wales. He said:

“Avian flu doesn’t respect borders, and with so many units close to the English border, and with the potential for further wild bird migration, the Welsh Government’s decision has left Welsh poultry vulnerable to infection.”
Commenting, Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies MS said:
“Today and Sunday, people across our country will gather to pay tribute to all those who served, fought, volunteered, and died to enable future generations to enjoy freedom from tyranny and oppression.
