Mrs. Ann Winterton
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to receive Professor Krebs's report on bovine tuberculosis; what compensation he intends to make to farmers for damage suffered as a result of the current curtailment of badger removal operations; and if he will make a statement. [9464]
Mr. Rooker
Professor Krebs's report is expected later this year. Compensation is already paid to farmers for animals compulsorily slaughtered as reactors to the tuberculin test or as contacts.
