EXTENSION OF THE BADGER CULL

Early day motion 897, tabled 19 March 2015 by Kelvin Hopkins (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

That this House believes that commencing the next badger cull in June 2015 is completely misguided and that it will result in many badger cubs being killed when they do not have TB; and calls on the Government to abandon plans for the 2015 cull since this has been found by the Independent Expert Panel to be ineffective in reducing bovine TB.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 1, Green 1, Independent 1, Respect 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
