Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Krebs (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Henley (Conservative) on Tuesday, 16 November 2010.
Bovine Tuberculosis
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what scientific evidence they hold which supports their proposals for control of bovine tuberculosis.
- Answer
-
My Lords, scientific evidence indicates that TB in cattle will not be eliminated without addressing transmission from badgers. The evidence used to estimate the impact of badger culling and vaccination on TB incidence in cattle is set out in our consultation document. For culling, much of the evidence comes from the randomised badger-culling trial, which was recommended by the noble Lord in 1997. For vaccination, it comes from laboratory and field studies.
