HC Deb 28 June 1994 vol 245 cc505-6W
Dr. Strang

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if she will set out her reasons for not renewing this year the invitation to the Transport and General Workers Union to nominate representatives to the consultative panel on badgers and bovine tuberculosis.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

The Transport and General Workers Union was not invited to re-nominate a representative to the consultative panel on badgers and bovine tuberculosis this year because, following a review of membership, I decided that only those organisations with a clear and direct concern in the problem needed to be represented.

Dr. Strang
