answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>A Contingency Invasive Species Action Plan was being developed prior to the arrival of the quagga mussel in Great Britain. However, once the mussel was detected, immediate contingency measures were considered and put in place. These included communicating its presence to water sport users and Thames Water to help prevent further spread of the species via the ‘Check, Clean, Dry ‘campaign. All involved have been working constructively together. The Environment Agency continues to monitor for further quagga mussel populations. The development of an Invasive Species Action Plan to manage this and other similar species will now be considered for development.</p><p><br></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 04/12/2014 11:01:50 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text <p>The likelihood of the arrival of the quagga mussel was identified by informal horizon scanning.
