Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) (Scotland) (No. 3) Order 2001 (“the Controlled Area Order”) within the permitted areas. It requires the written approval of the Divisional Veterinary Manager and notification to the Scottish Ministers to permit the use of the power of an inspector to prohibit entry by notice onto land or into agricultural buildings under the Controlled Area Order. Where such entry has been prohibited without such approval or notification, that prohibition shall cease to have effect.
