That this House notes the encouraging downward trend in bovine TB incidence in England and Wales and urges the Secretary of State not to put these improvements at risk by culling badgers; urges the Minister to follow the peer-reviewed advice of the Independent Scientific Group to concentrate on improving and rigidly enforcing cattle-based controls and testing procedures in order to bring the disease under control; calls on the Minister to take account of the opportunities now offered by successful badger vaccination trials and to prepare the way with Brussels for the earliest possible application and introduction of cattle vaccines that offer the only real long-term solution.
