Badger Cull

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

Well, that is a relief. I do not know why the Minister has not told the Secretary of State that, because he is reported in Hansard as saying that she is a he. [Interruption.] He appears not to have read his own Hansard record or corrected it. He obviously has not spoken to the scientists, who faced down the animal rights activists during Labour’s badger cull in order to

carry out the Labour Government’s research into culling badgers. We are not talking about some animal rights activists; these are scientists in the field wanting to get the right outcome for farmers and for the nation.
