Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what (a) guarantees and (b) protections have been put in place to ensure that the Woodchester Badger Project is not adversely affected by the further roll-out of badger culling in Gloucestershire.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency’s ongoing study of the wild badger population at Woodchester Park in Gloucestershire adapts to any changes in the surrounding badger population and will continue to inform policy in line with our TB strategy’s adaptive and evidence-based approach.
