Bovine Tuberculosis: Disease Control
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, by what date he expects to have ceased badger culling.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
This government will respect the advice of the widest range of expert advisers when considering the end of the badger cull.
There has not been a major bovine TB strategy review in nearly six years. The last was commissioned by the then Secretary of State Michael Gove and was carried out by Professor Sir Charles Godfray. It informs our starting point as we increase the effort to achieve bovine TB free status by 2038.
