(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order partially revokes the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/20) which contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food which has been or which may have been rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of radioactive substances from a nuclear reactor situated at Chernobyl in the Ukraine, USSR.
This Order reduces the area subject to restriction.
1985 c. 48; section 1 was amended by section 51 of the Food Safety Act 1990 (c. 16). Section 1(2) defines “designating authority” and section 24(1) contains a definition of “the Ministers” relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which this Order is made.
S.I. 1991/20.
