(1) If the Minister reasonably suspects that swine fever may exist in any place, he may make an Order declaring the area within a radius of 10 kilometres of that place to be a movement restriction area.
(2) Where an Order has been made, no person shall—
(a) move any pig off a holding in the area;
(b) move any cattle, sheep, goat or other ruminating animal off any holding in the area which has pigs on it; or
(c) move any pig out of the area.
(3) The restriction in paragraph (2)(c) shall not apply in relation to pigs which are loaded on to a vehicle outside the area and transported through it without the vehicle being loaded or unloaded.
(4) An Order made under this article shall be revoked if the Minister is satisfied that swine fever does not exist in the area and may be revoked if he makes an Order under the Swine Fever (Infected Areas Restrictions) Order 1956 in relation to all or part of that area.
