HC Deb 09 December 1963 vol 686 c7W
49. Mr. Farr

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of the national poultry flock has been vaccinated to date under the voluntary vaccination scheme.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

The scheme has now been in operation for just over a year, and in this time approximately 200 million doses of vaccine have been sold. It is estimated that this is sufficient to have vaccinated between 60 per cent. and 65 per cent. of the national turnover of poultry in this period.
