(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) (Scotland) (No. 3) Order 2001 to amend in relation to the whole of Scotland the ban on hunting and stalking for deer. This allows exceptions to the ban for certain types of deer in certain circumstances, while maintaining the complete ban on the hunting and stalking of other types of deer and of other animals.
