Bovine TB

Proceeding contribution from Eric Martlew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Bovine TB.
I congratulate the Secretary of State on making the decision, because it must have been very tempting to kick the issue into the long grass and go on holiday. Time will tell whether the decision is right or wrong, but is not the reality that the science did not justify a cull, and that the practicalities make a cull impossible? Many of us believe that the Welsh decision will never be implemented. Does he not think that more money should have been spent on research into a vaccine long before now?
