Just wondering what the uptake of “registration” has been?
According to the legislation there is no need to register.
There is a requirement to notify, in England & Wales the Secretary of State.
and in Scotland the Scottish Ministers by writing.
The legislation covering England and Wales is section 7 of
The Avian Influenza (Preventive Measures) (England) Regulations 2006 as
amended by Exotic Disease (Amendment)(England) Order 2024.
Section 4 of the 2024 order replaces the original section 7 of the 2006
Order with a new section 7 :
7.—(1) A person who keeps poultry or other captive birds at any premises
must notify the Secretary of State in writing of the following
information in relation to the premises—
(a) the address and (if there is one) the holding number of the premises;
(b) that person’s name and address and, if different from that person’s,
those of—
(i) the owner of the poultry or other captive birds; and
(ii)the occupier of the premises;
(c)the species of poultry or other captive birds kept at the premises;
(d)the number of birds of each species of poultry or other captive birds
kept at the premises; and
(e)the purpose or purposes for which the poultry or other captive birds
are kept.
Doing as is asked by the governments is akin to the government stating it needs details of your firearms but actually you should pass those details on to a private firm.
