Commenting today (Wednesday) on the publication of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee’s report on the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966, BVA President Nick Blayney welcomed the Committee’s endorsement of many of the points raised by the BVA in its evidence to the inquiry.

“While we will certainly consider EFRACom’s proposal that BVA work with Defra and RCVS to produce a draft bill, the BVA” said Mr Blayney “is a voluntary association and our focus is the benefit of our members. Given that we are not even persuaded of the need for a new Act, it is likely that our contribution will be advisory and not financial.”
