TB in Cattle and Badgers

Proceeding contribution from Jane Dodds (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 October 2019. It occurred during Debate on TB in Cattle and Badgers.

Does the hon. Lady agree that any strategy on bovine TB needs to use all the tools in the toolbox? In Wales last year, 12,000 cattle were slaughtered because of bovine TB. That casts a long, dark shadow over farming in Wales, and it is a particular issue in my constituency, where we have dairy and cattle farming. Does she agree with the assessment of NFU Cymru that we must use all the tools in the toolbox, including continuing vaccination at the same rate while also looking at targeted culls that are clearly engineered and clearly focused on high-risk areas?
