The National Assembly may by notice declare an area in which it is satisfied that a notifiable pest is present to be an infected area.

The notice may provide that all or any of the provisions specified in the Schedule apply in all or part of the infected area, and that different provisions apply in different parts of the infected area, as the National Assembly considers necessary to prevent the spread of the pest.

The National Assembly must publish any notice issued under paragraph (1) and any notice amending or revoking such a notice in such manner as it considers appropriate to bring it to the attention of persons likely to be affected by it.
