Motion Text

That this House notes with concern that bovine TB is threatening a growing number of farmers every year in the North East and that further delay in action against bovine TB is unacceptable; further notes the failure of the Government to use existing powers within the Protection of Badgers Act 1992; and calls on the Government to take practical measures immediately to eliminate TB from both cattle and wildlife.
