The information required by the legislation was held on the GB Poultry Register, and processes to support the enforcement of this legislation, which is the responsibility of local authorities, were long established.The amendment of this legislation ((by The Avian Influenza (Preventive Measures) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2024), which extended this legal requirement to all bird keepers (with exceptions) and the introduction of the Scottish Kept Bird Register, has merely meant an extension to the enforcement process already in place.
