Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Urgent question on Bovine Tuberculosis.


Bovine Tuberculosis

The Minister has already pointed out that if a badger cull is to be effective, it must be intensive and cover a sufficiently large area. May I draw a comparison with the contiguous cull policy on foot and mouth which, although distressing at the time, led to an early elimination of the disease? Will the Minister’s attempts to eliminate TB be as strong as his attempts to eliminate foot and mouth?
