Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Urgent question on Bovine Tuberculosis.
Bovine Tuberculosis
The Minister stated that bovine TB was a serious problem not just for cattle and dairy farmers but for animal welfare and human health. Has he ever seen a badger with TB, and the distress and pain that it suffers before it dies? Can he give us an accurate figure for the amount of money that the problem will cost the taxpayer in compensation to farmers? It is clear to those of us who are concerned about both the dairy industry and animal welfare that culling is the only effective way to rid this country of TB, which is damaging to our dairy herds.
