Well if he was a local authority Vet then mileage would have been paid by the Local Authority.
However there is a new set of regulations and I don't know how they will be enforced by the Department.
In the past I have destroyed colonies and then reported to the Local Authority Vet and was told off by him as he said he should have witnessed the destruction. Obviously different County Councils have acted in different manners, and in fact in my experience when one Vet retires his successor was not as diligent.
