HC Deb 10 June 1996 vol 279 c3W
Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assistance his Department provides towards payment of fees to veterinary surgeons for treatment of injured wildlife. [30792]

Mrs. Browning

No direct help is given towards payment of fees to veterinary surgeons for treatment of injured wildlife. The Pesticides Safety Directorate under the wildlife incident investigation scheme does arrange for disease incidents where pesticides may be involved to be investigated at no additional cost to the veterinary surgeon involved.
