Explanatory note

These regulations are made in the exercise of various powers under the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1948, to prescribe the time within which certain actions are to be carried out. Previous similar regulations made under similar powers conferred by the Agriculture Act, 1947, were S.I. 1948/188. They were continued in force for the purposes of the 1948 Act by section 100 thereof, and their effect is reproduced in the present regulations, except to the extent that the 1948 regulations have been superseded by later provisions, or have become spent.
