31. Mr. Boyes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many racing pigeons have been vaccinated against paramyxovirus II; and what information he has as to the average cost per bird.

Vaccine sales suggest that well over 2.5 million racing pigeons have been vaccinated against paramyxovirus 1 which is the strain of the virus which has affected pigeons. The cost of vaccination is about 36p to 40p per bird.
