  "text": "This order, which applies to England and Wales, enables the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to declare any area in which he believes or suspects the warble fly to exist to be an infected area. The warble fly is an insect which parasitically infests cattle.\nThe order continues to regulate the movement of cattle out of an infected area (article 4), to require cattle in an infected area to be treated (with certain exceptions) (article 5 and 14) and to prohibit the holding of a cattle market in an infected area except under the authority of a licence issued by the local authority (article 10).\nThe only change of substance made by the order is the inclusion of a prohibition on the receipt of untreated cattle from an infected area at a market held outside an infected area unless the market is authorised to receive such cattle by a licence issued by the local authority and the cattle have been moved there under licence. In addition, the further movement of such cattle is permitted only under licence to certain specified destinations (article 11).",
