§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the cost of introducing a slaughter policy with compensation for all flocks found to be infected with Arizona infection in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. John MackieThe nature of this infection makes it impossible to forecast what its incidence might be in Great4W Britain and consequently no estimate can be made of what it would cost to compensate for the compulsory slaughter of infected birds and their contacts.
§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, what steps he is taking to prevent the spread of Arizona infection in turkeys in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. John MackieWe have advised producers not to breed from turkeys of the strain in which this infection has been identified, or from birds that have been exposed to the risk of infection from such stock, to observe high standards of hygiene and to seek veterinary advice if infection is suspected.
