Written question asked by Baroness Byford (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Bach (Labour) on Monday, 14 November 2005.
Animal Quarantine
- Question
- Whether they hold records of animals removed from quarantine centres before their period of quarantine is completed; and, if so, whether these records show that any birds from the Pegasus Centre, which may have come into contact with the parrot infected with avian flu, have been routinely tested.
- Answer
-
Animals are not removed from quarantine centres before their period of quarantine is completed. There are therefore no records of this.There is an ongoing investigation into the case at the Pegasus Centre. However, there is no evidence to suggest that live birds were at any time removed from the facility during their period of quarantine.
