Coming into force

Whereas the Secretary of State was of the opinion, as mentioned in section 1(1)(a) of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985(1), that there had been or might have been circumstances which were likely to create a hazard to human health through human consumption of food;

And whereas the Secretary of State was of the opinion, as mentioned in section 1(1)(b) of the said Act, that in consequence of the said circumstances food which was or might have been in the future derived from sheep in the areas described in Schedule 1 to the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) (Wales) Order 1991(2), was, or might have been, or might have become, unsuitable for human consumption;

And whereas the Secretary of State is now of the opinion that food which is derived or may in the future be derived from sheep in the areas referred to in article 2(1) of this Order is no longer unsuitable for human consumption in consequence of the said circumstances;

Now, therefore, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 1(1) and (2) and section 24(1) and (3) of the said Act(3), and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, hereby makes the following Order:—

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order further partially revokes the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) (Wales) Order 1991 (“the principal Order”) 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.

This partial revocation reduces two designated areas in the County of Gwynedd subject to the restrictions set out in the principal Order and also provides that a designated area in the County of Powys is no longer subject to the said restrictions.

Maps showing the areas which are designated by the principal Order and the area derestricted by this Order are available for inspection during normal office hours at the offices of the Welsh Office Agriculture Department at Penrallt, Caernarfon, LL55 1EP; Government Buildings, Spa Road East, Llandrindod Wells, Powys LD1 5HA and Cathays Park, Cardiff CF1 3NQ.
