HC Deb 30 March 1999 vol 328 c598W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement concerning badgers and bovine tuberculosis in Wales. [78961]

The Government's five point strategy based on the recommendations in the Krebs report is the right strategy for dealing with the problem. No one should underestimate the seriousness of bovine TB and we will take the necessary steps to contain it.

Following the transfer of functions, this issue will be a matter for the National Assembly.

Forward to
