Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions she has had with the devolved administrations on bovine TB.

I have frequent meetings with the Devolved Administrations (DA) on a wide range of matters. Defra officials have monthly meetings on bovine TB involving all the DAs which are normally attended by Chief Veterinary Officers as well as policy and veterinary staff.
