The Rural Affairs Minister, Elin Jones, has issued the following statement
“I am disappointed with this judgement particularly as the court recognises the serious impact that bovine TB is having in Wales and the need to tackle the disease. We will now need to consider the judges’ decision in detail before deciding our next steps. It is however clear that if we don’t tackle all sources of infection we will not eradicate it. Farmers, their families and our rural communities are suffering from the devastating consequences of this disease and I remain committed to its eradication.”
