Badgers

Lord Taylor of Blackburn Excerpts

Tuesday 18th June 2013 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Northover]

The Government expect to be able to announce a decision on the reports in the early part of next year, when the information is in. I can assure my noble friend that the outcome of the monitoring of the pilot culls will be published. In the mean time, of course, other measures to seek to control bovine TB will also be taken.

[Lord Taylor of Blackburn]

My Lords, when the animals are killed, will there will be post mortems on their carcasses to see whether they are carrying TB or not?

[Baroness Northover]

There will be post mortems on the carcasses.
