§ Mr. GrayTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether a distinction is made in the transport regulations of tuberculosis positive tested cattle between those over and under 30 months of age. [188495]
§ Mr. BradshawAll TB reactors, both under and over 30 months (OTM) of age must be transported to slaughter under licence (TB 24(C)).
Because TB reactor cattle under 30 months (UTM) of age are excluded from OTM slaughterhouses and vice versa, they must be transported separately.
