It shall be the duty of each feed authority to execute and enforce these Regulations within its area or as the case may be district in relation to feed.
It shall be the duty of each food authority to execute and enforce these Regulations within its area in relation to food.

Each feed authority and each food authority shall give such assistance and information to the Secretary of State and the Food Standards Agency as they may reasonably request in connection with the execution and enforcement of these Regulations.
