f1

1981 c. 22; section 8(1) was amended by section 34(2) of the Agriculture Act 2020 (c. 21). Powers to make Orders under these sections were originally conferred on “the Minister” or “the Ministers”, as defined in section 86(1) of the Animal Health Act 1981. The functions of the Minister or Ministers were, in so far as within devolved competence, transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).
