No debate on Krebs report
LEADER of the House of Commons, Ann Taylor, has told MPs there is no prospect of a parliamentary debate on the implications of the Krebs report on bovine TB.
Labour MP David Drew (Stroud) requested the debate adding: “There is a growing awareness that some of the reports recommendations may not be practicable, and an examination of this growing problem — which is probably second only to BSE — is long overdue.”
But Mrs Taylor insisted that the Krebs committee had recommended a “package of measures which, taken together, provide a coherent basis for moving forward”. She said government had consulted on the report to find the best way of implementing the measures.
