Written question asked by Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Rooker (Labour) on Monday, 27 November 2006.
Animal Welfare: Wild Birds
- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by Lord Bach on 9 November 2005 (WA 87), what they meant by the term ““unexpected deaths”” in a consignment of imported birds in quarantine; and how many deaths lead to a visit from a veterinary inspector.
- Answer
-
If the trade in wild birds resumes, veterinary officers (VO) from the State Veterinary Service, rather than private local veterinary inspectors, will be responsible for the supervision of quarantine episodes. It will be up to the VO supervising the quarantine to decide whether the mortality rate is abnormal and whether an additional visit will be required.
