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


Bovine TB

I welcome the Secretary of State's proportionate and measured approach to this very contentious issue, and it will be respected by farmers in the west country, many of whom have suffered tragic losses from their herd. I welcome also the long-term commitment to developing a vaccine, but does my right hon. Friend agree that one of the problems with the current vaccine is that it will only inoculate healthy badgers against future infection and cannot cure badgers that already have the disease?
