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


Bovine TB

The wildlife trusts have said that the scientific evidence does not support the culling of badgers and could even make matters worse by disturbing the remaining badgers, spreading the disease further. How will the Secretary of State ensure that these short six-week pilots get the evidence base to demonstrate whether the wildlife trusts are right or wrong in their suppositions?
