Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:11 pm on 20 September 2016.
It would be for the Minister to make that statement, and she will be keeping the Assembly informed of that. But, as I said, the number of breakdowns has gone down. Testing is up. We know that there are no difficulties in terms of international trade, as far as bovine TB is concerned. In fact, the eradication programme, which is jointly owned by England, Wales and Northern Ireland, has received £31 million of European money. There we are; let’s see if that continues in the future. So, there’s no difficulty with the approach that we have taken. No country, nor indeed the European Union, has ever said that they have difficulty with the approach taken to reducing TB incidence in Wales.
