DEFRA announced today that two reports will be published by next week on the foot and mouth outbreak in Surrey. The department have already received a report from the Health and Safety Executive outlining the details of the Surrey outbreak. Another report is due from Brian Spratt of the Imperial College, London. The two of these reports are expected to be released simultaneously by DEFRA in a few days time.

A spokesperson for DEFRA stated that the Government will give serious consideration to both reports and is due to release a statement of its intended future actions to combat the issue. Spratt's report will focus on the source of the outbreak and its future implications while the Health and Safety Executive's report details the beginnings of the Surrey foot and mouth case.
