uin	141575
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2023 answer text <p>Defra is in regular discussion with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). We recognise the distress this awful disease can have on bird keepers and APHA officials on the ground will continue to provide guidance and support to those impacted.</p><p> </p><p>Protection Zones and Captive Bird Monitoring (Controlled) Zones must remain in force for at least 21 days and Surveillance Zones for at least 30 days following the completion of preliminary cleansing and disinfection at the infected premises. However, disease control zones are only lifted once all disease control and surveillance activities in the zones have been successfully completed and there are no suspect cases under investigation in the zones. Further cases within the disease control zones will also ‘reset the clock’ for zone lifting. The audit work undertaken to lift zones is required as part of requirements from trading partners.</p><p> </p><p>Defra’s approach to avian influenza control is set out in the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notifiable-avian-disease-control-strategy-2015" target="_blank">Notifiable Avian Disease Control Strategy for Great Britain</a> supported by the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mitigation-strategy-for-avian-influenza-in-wild-birds-in-england-and-wales" target="_blank">Mitigation Strategy for Avian Influenza in Wild Birds in England and Wales</a>. Our approach aims to reduce adverse impacts on the rural and wider economy, the public, rural communities and the environment (including impact on wildlife), whilst protecting public health and minimising the overall cost of any outbreak. Current policy reflects our experience of responding to past outbreaks of exotic animal disease and is in line with international standards of best practice for disease control.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 15/02/2023 10:40:32 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
