Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Bovine TB.


Bovine TB

Will the Secretary of State be clear with the House about what level of mortality she expects shooting to achieve, because the very clear advice that we received over many years as Ministers was that shooting would not achieve a level of mortality high enough to make any difference to the disease at all? She is allowing only a very short six-week period for the pilots, which cannot be credible.
