The Government needs to "set in stone" its plans to ditch its controversial badger cull, Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas said today ahead of a debate on the policy in the Commons.

Speaking ahead of a debate in the Commons today, she said: "The delay until 2013 is welcome news, but we now need to set this in stone and stop the cull altogether.
