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


Bovine Tuberculosis

Does the Minister recognise that there will be profound disappointment in the farming community that the Government have not seized the nettle and taken action? In the light of the consultation, which we understand will take three months, will the Minister guarantee that at the conclusion of that three-month period a decision to act will be taken? Will he tell us who will take the decision—the bovine advisory group, the Government or DEFRA? Will he give us those assurances now?
