Paragraph 1 Prohibition on the movement of poultry or other captive birds from premises in a wild bird control area
England, Wales and Scotland
No person may move poultry or other captive birds from premises in a wild bird control area except under the authority of a licence granted by a veterinary inspector or an inspector acting under his direction.
A veterinary inspector may not grant or direct the grant of a licence for a movement under paragraph (1) unless it is for a movement of—
poultry to any premises in the wild bird control area or the wild bird monitoring area centred on the same outbreak point, including an undesignated slaughterhouse;
ready-to-lay pullets or turkeys for fattening to premises in the United Kingdom;
poultry to a designated slaughterhouse for slaughter;
day-old chicks hatched from eggs collected from premises within the wild bird control area to premises in the United Kingdom;
day-old chicks hatched from eggs collected from premises within the wild bird monitoring area centred on the same outbreak point as that control area to premises in the United Kingdom;
day-old chicks hatched from eggs collected from premises outside the wild bird control area or outside the wild bird monitoring area centred on the same outbreak point, to any premises.
A veterinary inspector may not grant or direct the grant of a licence for a movement referred to in sub-paragraph 2(f) unless he is satisfied that there was no contact, at the hatchery from which the day-old chicks are being moved, between the eggs from which the day-old chicks were hatched and any other hatching eggs or day-old chicks originating from poultry within the wild bird control area or wild bird monitoring area.
