Mr. Ralph Howell
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many (a) flocks and (b) birds, have been slaughtered as a result of Zoonoses Orders; and what is the estimated number and value of loss of eggs which will result.
Mr. Maclean
Up to 1 December, 1,005,290 birds from 83 flocks infected with salmonella have been compulsorily slaughtered. It is not possible to give the details of the estimated number and value of loss of eggs which will result except at disproportionate cost.
