The Hypothesised Relationship Between Bovine Tuberculosis And Meles Meles (European Badger)
EDM number 1029 in 2015-16, proposed by Paul Monaghan on 28/01/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Animal diseases and Wildlife.
That this House notes the Government has to date authorised £25,000,000 expenditure on the culling of badgers in England and Wales; further notes that this equates to expenditure of approximately £7,000 per European Badger killed; recognises that the hypothesised relationship between bovine tuberculosis and Meles meles, European Badger, is as yet unproven; and considers that a policy of culling represents questionable value for money, offers little benefit to farmers, and is both inefficient and unsustainable at the current level of expenditure.
This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
