Section 2 Prohibition or restriction of use of poisons.

Where the Secretary of State is satisfied that a poison cannot be used for destroying animals or animals of any description without causing undue suffering and that other suitable methods of destroying them exist and are or would in certain circumstances be adequate, he may by regulations made by statutory instrument prohibit or restrict the use of that poison for destroying animals or, as the case may be, animals of that description.

A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
