26. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many outbreaks of fowl pest there have been in the last four weeks in Northamptonshire; and in how many of these was it found that birds had not been vaccinated.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

In the four weeks ended 17th January there have been 36 outbreaks of fowl pest, involving 334,000 birds, in Northamptonshire. Of these, 20 outbreaks were in flocks which had not been vaccinated at all or sufficiently recently to be effective and a further seven flocks had been only partly treated.
