England, Wales and Scotland

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

These regulations supersede the Mink (Keeping) Regulations 1967 as amended. The regulations prescribe the manner in which mink are to be kept in Great Britain and the precautions to be taken to prevent their escape. They substitute the approximate metric measurements for the imperial measurements referred to in the previous regulations and they also increase the fee for a licence to keep mink from £10 to £19.

These regulations will not necessitate any alteration to cages, enclosures, buildings, gates, doors or other constructions which were constructed in accordance with the previous regulations.
