New legislation coming up in the area
Legislating for animal welfare - that's first priority for our new director of Animal and Plant Health.
Alistair Breed has taken up the post in the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture - including the role as chief veterinary officer.
He's taking over from Stewart Jaques after his departure from DEFA - but has additional responsibility for Plant Health and disease prevention.
Mr Breed joined the department 24 years ago - he says he has a clear idea of what to tackle first:
Peel Commissioner at centre of row would 'welcome' external investigation
Outdoor seating to be installed at Barbary Coast
"It had to be big": Family to run five ultra marathons in cousin's memory
Airport strengthens green credentials
