§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has any contingency plans for the use of vaccinations of wild animals acting as vectors of rabies in the event of an outbreak in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MacleanOral vaccination of wildlife is not appropriate in a rabies-free country. In the unlikely event of an outbreak in wildlife in the United Kingdom control measures would concentrate on the destruction of foxes in the infected area.
