Neil Parish: Chairman of the EFRA Committee/MP for Tiverton and Honiton (Con)

DEFRA has issued details of the licenses for this year's badger cull which includes eleven new areas covering parts of Cornwall, Avon, Staffordshire, Dorset, Cheshire, Herefordshire, Devon and Wiltshire. Caz Graham asks Neil Parish MP for his response to the expansion of the cull, if he thinks DEFRA have handled the cull appropriately, and whether as a farmer himself he feels culling badgers is an effective means of controlling Bovine TB.
