National welcome for programme

The Welsh Assembly's TB eradication programme has received widespread support from farming organisations across the UK.

The Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers chairman, Lyndon Edwards said: "The decision to introduce a raft of TB control measures to Wales, including culling badgers in hot-spot areas, is a major breakthrough for all livestock farmers and its importance cannot be overstated."

National Beef Association director, Kim Haywood added: "The association hopes that this latest Welsh policy move will encourage a comparable response from Defra which must now double its efforts and make sure the even bigger TB problem that burdens England is covered with a similarly unambiguous and comprehensive plan of action too."
