Thank you, Neil Hamilton, for those questions. I suppose the short answer to a couple of those questions is that we will keep the whole programme under review—constant review. As I say, I have committed to reporting to the Assembly on the progress that we are making. You asked about a couple of points and whether we would be keeping specific things under review. The answer is that we’re keeping the whole programme under review.

You mentioned the pre-movement testing in the low TB area. I think it’s a very important and effective tool in keeping disease out of TB-free herds. I think that if we can declare that north-west Wales is TB free, it would give everybody a really big boost. We are within touching distance of doing that, so I think it’s really important that we protect that area in this way. I think keepers really need to take ownership of the disease situation, so that we can really protect that area’s favourable status.

In relation to compensation, you will have heard my earlier answers. As I say, it’s very pleasing to see now that England and Scotland are out to consultation on that too. I do urge farmers, if they do think they’ve got cattle that are worth more than £5,000, to look for insurance. I know it’s quite a new area of insurance, but it is out there.

In relation to trapping badgers, it’s not a cull, it’s not a limited cull. I think it would be good for the badger population if we take out—. If a badger’s got TB, why would you want to keep it there? I mentioned in my opening statement how that would be done—that they would be tested and they would be microchipped, and blood would also be tested again. So, I think it’s good for the badger population as well as cattle, obviously.

The vaccine does play a part, I think. I don’t think any one measure that we have would eradicate TB—I think it is about a whole suite of measures. I do think, as I say, that the vaccine has a role to play. If it becomes available in the way I set out in my opening statement, I will certainly look at it as part of the eradication programme.

So, the action plans, I mentioned there are between 50 and 60 chronic herd breakdowns at any one time, not always the same, obviously. I understand that about 45 of these action plans have now been drawn up over the summer since I made my statement in June, ahead of the 1 October start date. Obviously, this will then be part of those action plans as we go forward.

In relation to the private vet and the APHA vet working alongside the farmer, I haven’t had any criticism around the cost of it, but I too don’t want to put any more burdens on farmers, so I will certainly have a look at how that is funded.
