Summary and Background

Part 7: Fisheries

Chapter 2: The Sea Fisheries (Shellfish) Act 1967
Section 207: Restrictions imposed by grantees, etc

532.Section 3 is amended to ensure that where a regulating order enables a grantee to impose restrictions or make regulations about the dredging, fishing for and taking of shellfish, the grantee is able to carry into effect and enforce those restrictions and regulations in the same way as may be done for regulations imposed by and restrictions made in the order itself. This amendment brings England and Wales in line with Scotland for which similar provision was made by the Police, Public and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006.
