Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
Under section 8 of the Pests Act 1954, it is an offence to use or knowingly permit the use of any spring trap other than a trap that has been approved by Order.
This Order revokes and replaces the Spring Traps Approval Order 1995 in relation to Wales. Article 2 specifies approved traps, namely those listed in column (1) of the Schedule and others which are equivalent in all respects to those so listed. The Order adds 11 types of traps to those approved under the previous Order. Conditions attached to the approval of each type of trap are specified in column (2) of the Schedule. The conditions have been amended from the previous Order to ensure a trap is set in such a way to minimise the chances of injuring or killing non-target species.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
