The number of BCG doses made available for badger vaccination was limited in 2017 due to a global shortage and the need to prioritise supplies for human vaccination. Global BCG vaccine supply is now improving and although complete figures for the number of badgers vaccinated in 2018 are not yet available, provisional data returned to date indicate that the number will be higher than in 2017.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/01/2019 17:16:06 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

On the UK’s request, the EU will provide these auditors with information and assistance to allow them to assure the implementation of the financial settlement. The application of these rights will be a significant source of assurance for Parliament in respect of payments under the financial settlement.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/01/2019 14:22:52 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
