Limits on moving livestock into Wales due to virus

Limits are to be placed on moving livestock from England into Wales in response to the spread of the bluetongue virus.

Cattle, sheep and goats would need to test negative for the potentially fatal disease before they can be transported across the border.

While bluetongue has spread across large parts of England, it has yet to reach Wales this year and the Welsh government said it was attempting to hold it back "for as long as we can".

But the farming industry warned the implications of the decision could be "catastrophic" for cross-border trade.
