Text

I am very aware of the devastating impact that TB can have on the family farm. I have met families who have been affected by it, and those conversations will stay with me for a long time. I am also mindful of the importance of following due process. We are consulting on wildlife interventions. I want to make sure that we complete the consultation process and evaluate the responses, and I will take decisions further to that. I am mindful of the previous judicial review and the importance of following due process.
