DEREGULATION
Made 29th April 1996
Coming into force 30th April 1996
WHEREAS:
the Secretary of State is of the opinion that the effect of section 18 of the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1868f1 which is the subject of this Order imposes a burden affecting persons in the carrying on of a trade, business, profession or otherwise and that by amending the enactment concerned it is possible to remove or reduce the burden without removing any necessary protection;
he has consulted such organisations as appear to him to be representative of interests substantially affected by his proposals and such other persons as he considers appropriate;
it appears to the Secretary of State that it is appropriate, following that consultation, to proceed with the making of this Order;
a document setting out the Secretary of State’s proposals has been laid before Parliament as required by section 3 of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994f2 and the period for Parliamentary consideration under section 4 of that Act has expired;
the Secretary of State has had regard to the representations made during that period;
a draft of this Order has been laid before Parliament with a statement giving details of such representations and the changes (if any) to the Secretary of State’s proposals in the light of those representations; and
a draft of this Order has been approved by resolution of each House of Parliament.
NOW THEREFORE, the Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by section 1 of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994, hereby makes the following Order:

1868 c. 123. Section 18 was amended by the Freshwater and Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1976 (c. 22) section 6 and Schedule 2 and by the Salmon Act 1986 (c. 62) section 41 and Schedule 4 paragraph 3(1). “Salmon” is defined in section 1A of the 1868 Act (as inserted by the Salmon Act 1986 Schedule 4 para.1) as having the same meaning as in section 40(1) of the 1986 Act.
