I haven't said at all that there will be a badger cull. I mean, please, I have not said that. What I have said is that I want to see bespoke action plans. I think it's really important that we look at pilots from other countries, but I think it's really important that when we have those bespoke action plans, which I think are very needed, particularly with the chronic heard breakdowns, because it is unacceptable that we have these, as I say, these 10 breakdowns that have been under restrictions for 106 years—. It's just not sustainable, and we have to find a way of dealing with that.
I welcome the fact that you are pleased that we're going to regionalisation. I, too, think that that is absolutely the right thing to do, and I think I've answered your questions in my previous answer to Paul Davies in relation to regionalisation.
In response to your question about vaccination, as I say, we don't know when there is going to be the supply of vaccine that we were having from Denmark. There have been discussions with DEFRA, and we've been working with DEFRA to try and find other suppliers. There doesn't seem too much appetite at the moment from DEFRA to look for it, so I've spoken to the chief veterinary officer, who, obviously, meets with her counterparts and also with DEFRA, to say that we will continue to look for that, because I do think that, whilst it is only one part of our programme, it's a very important part of our programme.
