Chamber and committees

Can you clarify whether it is the same virus and which virus it is?

What does your team suggest are the types of dogs that people who go rough shooting use?

For the record, how do you define a rough shoot?

Are the numbers of reports higher than the numbers of cases that you have found? Are there a large number of reports from people who are worried about avian flu?

What evidence does the Scottish Government have that rough shooting is connected to rabbit welfare issues?

When will the guidance that you mentioned be produced, so that there is more clarity? Will we see it before stage 3?

I apologise for not being clear with regard to the intention of my questions. I find it difficult to understand the drafting of the bill, so it has been difficult to articulate questions.

As you have said, the density of the stock is greater in England.

To date, how many species have been infected with avian flu?

Thank you.

So, England is not far in front of us. It is just that the density there is greater.

How does that compare with the level in England?
