Badger Cull

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 October 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate and e-petition debate on Badger Cull.

The hon. Gentleman is being somewhat misleading. The DEFRA website states that

“in January 2012 an application for marketing authorisation…was submitted to the UK’s Veterinary Medicines Directorate…for assessment”

in relation to the BCG vaccine. It was submitted almost a year ago, and the website states that it will come to fruition in a year. The DIVA test is also ready to go. The idea that we are going back to 1910 is simply misleading.
