Measures where the disease is confirmed in a feral pig
14.—(1) Where the presence of the disease is confirmed in a feral pig in England or an infected area is declared in Scotland or Wales touching the border with England, the Secretary of State may by declaratory order, establish an infected area within England of sufficient size to cover the area where the disease is suspected to be present.
(2) The declaratory order in paragraph (1) may impose any or all of the restrictions and requirements of Schedule 2 in the infected area and may also suspend the hunting and ban the feeding of feral pigs in that area.
(3) The Secretary of State may take such steps as she considers necessary to ensure that all persons in an infected area are made fully aware of the restrictions and requirements in force in the infected area including requiring occupiers of properties situated within that area to exhibit signs or notices.
(4) The Secretary of State may by declaratory order impose a ban on the establishment of new holdings in an infected area.
(5) The Secretary of State may by declaratory order impose a ban on pig breeding in an infected area except in accordance with a licence issued by a veterinary inspector.
