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


Bovine TB

My hon. Friend makes a very important point. In New Zealand, the incidence of the disease in possums had to be tackled; in Australia, it had to be tackled among wild buffalo; and in Ireland, it was tackled in the badger population. No part of the world has successfully tackled TB in its cattle population without addressing the reservoir of disease in wildlife.
