Badger Culling

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Badger Culling.

My hon. Friend is making some strong points. He spoke about the evidence-free approach being taken in England. Does he agree that the approach being taken in Wales has demonstrated clear evidence that the cull was unnecessary? We have continued to see massive reductions in bovine tuberculosis, much greater than

those in England—47% in Wales over eight years, compared with 16% in England. Even this year infections have continued to decrease, according to the latest information provided by the chief veterinary officer.
