Amendments (Textual)

F1 1981 c. 22. Powers to make Orders under these sections were originally conferred on “the Ministers”, as defined in section 86(1) of the Act. The powers in the Act which are cited relative to this Order do not include section 88(2) of that Act. That subsection was used to enable the extension, by article 5 of S.S.I. 2008/11, of the definition of “disease” in section 88(1) of that Act to include bluetongue for the purposes of that Act. The functions of the Ministers were, insofar as within devolved competence, transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
