Hilary Benn to face farmers over TB

It is speculated that the secretary of state Hilary Benn will announce additional funding for further vaccination trials to appease angry farmers on the TB debacle.

Today Hilary Benn will face a barrage of furious farmers at lunchtime at The Royal Show 2008.

It is expected he will promise money for vaccination trials but many will see this as a longer term option, not a solution to the current crisis.
