The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the timetable is for the implementation of the bovine Tuberculosis eradication strategy for England.

Answered by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

This Government is currently considering the proposals set out in the recommended bovine TB control strategy for England.

The department will continue to work closely with farmers, vets, scientists and industry partners to move swiftly from recommendations to implementation through a series of rolling three to five-year delivery plans.

The first delivery plan will be published in due course and will set out the first timetable for implementation of the strategy's recommendations.
