§ 8. Sir John Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement about the future control of badgers.
§ Mrs. FennerMy right hon. friend announced on 7 April that action on badgers would be confined to that part of the breakdown farm where it is believed that tuberculosis was transmitted to cattle, or to the whole farm if it is not possible to be more precise. A consequence of this change should be that fewer badgers will be killed.
