# The Sheep Variable Premium (Protection of Payments) (Amendment) Order 1981, Note: Explanatory note


This Order amends the Sheep Variable Premium (Protection of Payments) (No. 2) Order 1980 by substituting a new mark for application to any animal qualifying for a premium payment before certification for such payment, in place of the mark prescribed in paragraph (b) of the first paragraph of Schedule 1 thereto. The effect of this change is to allow for a smaller hole to be punched in the ear of a qualifying animal.
