Whereas it appears to the Scottish Ministers that the import of peanuts originating in, or consigned from, Egypt may, save as permitted by the following Order, involve imminent risk of injury to health, now therefore the said Ministers, in exercise of the powers conferred on them by sections 6(4), 13(1) and 48(1) of the Food Safety Act 1990 , and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Order:
1990 c. 16; section 6(4) of the Act was amended by paragraph 6 of Schedule 9 to the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 (c. 40). The functions of the Secretary of State so far as within devolved competence were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
