Textual amendments

F1: 1981 c. 22, amended by the Animal Health Act 1981 (Amendment) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/3293). The functions conferred under the 1981 Act on “the Ministers” (as defined in section 86 of that Act) are now exercisable by the Scottish Ministers. They were transferred, so far as exercisable within devolved competence, by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998.
