Bovine TB

Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Bovine TB.
On the last point, we would have to argue our case, and I am sure that the hon. Lady would join me and others in doing so vigorously. Why would we not want to pursue a vaccine if it could be shown to work? ... The EU could change the current rules that forbid it. ... There are no guarantees in dealing with this disease, but that should not stop us trying to pursue the right policy. We will be in a much stronger position to argue the case for changing that European rule when we have a vaccine. I look forward to going with the hon. Lady to argue our case when we have the opportunity.
