Select Committee on Agriculture Fifth Report


APPENDIX 28

Letter from Mr GW Richardson, Vice-Chairman, TB Committee, National Beef Association (L34)

  As vice chairman of the National Beef Association TB Committee I am writing to fully endorse the submission sent to you by Mr Barry Jones our Chairman.

  I would also like to recommend that you cull Badgers on farms where TB has been confirmed by Post mortem on test failures. Also where the disease has been confirmed in Badger Post Mortems.

  Our farm has been under restrictions for over two years and we have just had another 28 test failures and feel that it is vital that something is done with the badgers soon.

  If it is possible to submit oral evidence to your committee I would very much appreciate the opportunity to do so.
