	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2014 answer text <p>Alabama Rot is the name commonly being given to the newly emerged condition in dogs, known by its clinical and pathological description as ‘Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy'. Whilst this new condition, which appears seasonally, seems very similar to Alabama Rot, we do not know that they have the same cause.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p>Investigation into this condition is being led by vets at a referral small animal veterinary practice and at the world renowned research organisation, the Animal Health Trust. These vets have expertise specifically in small animal medical cases. As such the veterinary practice, Anderson Moore, is best placed to update on the number of confirmed and suspect cases. The practice informed Animal Health Veterinary Laboratories Agency on the 27<sup>th</sup> March that 14 cases have been confirmed between December 2013 and March 2014. This is in addition to 14 cases confirmed between December 2012 and March 2013.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice previous answer version 5020 answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Animal Health Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) and Defra have met with the Royal College of Pathologists, to discuss the new Surveillance model, on four separate occasions between September 2012 and the introduction of changes to the Surveillance model on 1 April 2014.</p><p> </p><p>A formal impact assessment was not required for this work because it does not involve a change in regulation. Submission into the scanning surveillance system is a voluntary activity that has no regulatory aspect. However the ‘Changes to the delivery of Veterinary Scanning Surveillance in England and Wales, December 2013' document published on the AHVLA website does consider the impact of the changes, recognises that there are negative impacts (e.g. some farms will be further from an AHVLA Post Mortem facility) but concludes that these are outweighed by the benefit of having stronger national centres of excellence and a better coordinated network of support from private practices.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Local authorities in England may lethally control gulls or disrupt their nests or eggs, in accordance with licences issued by Natural England for certain purposes. Without a licence, they can also take action to manage gulls by controlling the availability of food by efficiently managing waste (including introducing byelaws to stop intentional feeding of gulls, should they wish) and preventing gulls from landing, roosting or nesting on buildings. Defra does not provide specific support for such measures but Natural England offers free advice to those experiencing problems with gulls.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice previous answer version 4500 answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
