Proceeding contribution from Eric Martlew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Urgent question on Bovine Tuberculosis.


Bovine Tuberculosis

I am grateful to the Minister for announcing that there will be pre-movement testing. I am sure that he is aware that bovine TB was introduced into Cumbria, following the restocking from the west country after the foot and mouth outbreak, because there was no such testing. It is over 10 years since I asked what progress was being made on a vaccine for bovine TB. There seems to have been no progress. Is that because of a lack of resources or a lack of will?
