Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 22 July 2010 in the House of Lords, by Lord Henley (Conservative).


Bovine Tuberculosis

Answer

The noble Baroness has absolutely stumped me. I do not know whether foxes and rabbits can spread bovine TB. We know that badgers are the principal problem, which is why we want to address them first, but if there is a problem in foxes and rabbits, I am sure that we will look at that as well.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 22 July 2010 by Baroness Masham of Ilton (Crossbench).
