Bovine TB

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Spelman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Bovine TB.
This is a balanced package of measures for the control and eradication of TB in cattle, and at its foundation are cattle movement measures. My hon. Friend is quite right, and we are looking to tighten up on pre-movement testing. We have already introduced an expansion of areas for more frequent testing. We are extending the use of gamma testing, and we will be strengthening enforcement of TB surveillance and control. I can assure my hon. Friend that we are tightening up on cattle movement as an integral part of this package of measures.
