(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations correct an error in regulation 8 (penalties and time limits) of the Avian Influenza (Preventive Measures in Zoos) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 by reducing the maximum term of imprisonment, on summary conviction, for offences under the principal Regulations, from six months to three months.
1972 c. 68; section 2(2) was amended by the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46), Schedule 8, paragraph 15(3). The functions conferred on a Minister of the Crown by section 2(2) were transferred, insofar as within devolved competence, to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998.
