Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
This Order prohibits absolutely the keeping of mink on certain off-shore islands of Great Britain and in certain parts of the Highland Region of Scotland and prohibits the keeping of mink in the rest of Great Britain except under licence (article 3). The Order continues the prohibition imposed by the Mink Keeping Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/3324) (“the 1992 Order”), which ceases to have effect on 1st January 1998. This Order ceases to have effect on 1st January 2001 (“the expiry date”).
In consequence of the making of this Order the provisions of the Destructive Imported Animals Act 1932 will continue to apply to mink until the expiry date, subject (as under the 1992 Order) to certain exceptions relating to the duty on occupiers of land to give notice of the presence on their land of mink not kept under a licence (article 4).
No regulatory appraisal has been prepared in respect of this Order.
