Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (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 my hon. Friend for his support for today’s announcement. He is right: bovine TB is probably our most serious animal health problem. It is devastating for the farmers whom it affects; it is extremely distressing for a farmer to lose some, or in some cases all, of their cattle. It is also a serious health and welfare issue for badgers, but as my hon. Friend rightly says there are potential human health risks—they are not even theoretical—if we do not get the disease under control.
