(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Muntjac Keeping (Scotland) Order 2011 extended the provisions of the Destructive Imported Animals Act 1932 (“1932 Act”), with modifications, to the keeping of animals of the genus Muntiacus (Muntjac deer).
These Regulations provide for the duration of licences granted by the Scottish Ministers to keep Muntjac under sections 3 and 8 of the 1932 Act, for fees payable in respect of licences, and for the minimum conditions to be included in licences.
It is an offence under section 6 of the 1932 Act for a licence holder to fail to comply with these Regulations, or any term of the licence.
A business and regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations.
