Bovine TB

Proceeding contribution from Sarah Wollaston (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Bovine TB.
Can the Secretary of State confirm that badgers infected with TB and with TB lesions in their kidneys excrete large amounts of TB on to grass? We all get many letters from constituents asking us to ensure that cows have access to grass and are not reared on large factory-scale farms, so surely controlling bovine TB is an important way of ensuring that grass is safer for cows to eat.
