Dear Mr Rabbetts

REQUESTED INFORMATION NOT HELD

Thank you for your request for information about bovine TB incidence found in cattle within the Gloucestershire Badger Vaccine Deployment Project Catchment Areas. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000/Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

I regret to inform you that after a search of the data in Animal Health, we find that the information requested is not held.

Natural England may be able to provide some information about this project as they are the department responsible for issuing licences for future badger vaccination.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. I also attach an Annex giving contact details should you be unhappy with the services you have received.

Yours sincerely

(by email)
