TB in Cattle and Badgers

Proceeding contribution from Owen Paterson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 October 2019. It occurred during Debate on TB in Cattle and Badgers.

I will make a point briefly. Will the Government look at evidence from other countries, particularly Ireland, where the evidence is quite contrary to what the SNP spokesperson—the hon. Member for Edinburgh North and Leith (Deidre Brock)—said, in that there is no intention of eliminating a species? This process is about getting the population per kilometre down to a level whereby the disease simply cannot reproduce itself, and then we will end up with a completely stable, healthy badger population, and this whole nightmare will go away.
