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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much funding his Department has provided to help tackle bovine TB outbreaks in areas of high incidence in each of the last five years.

Policy on bovine TB is devolved to governments in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

In England, in the last five years, my department has spent approximately £100 million per year on disease control measures tackling bovine TB.

It is not possible to break down the amount spent, by individual TB risk area.
