(This note does not form part of the Order) This Order revokes and replaces the Animals (Post-Import Control) Order 1993, S.I. 1993/14. It establishes controls on certain animals after they have been imported into Great Britain by laying down requirements relating to — cattle from areas not free from warble fly (article 2) pigs from areas not free from Aujesky’s disease (article 3 and Schedule 1) cattle from Canada (article 4 and Schedule2) cattle imported under specific Community legislation (articles 5 and 6 and Schedule 3), and sheep and goats from areas not free from contagious agalactia (article 7). It empowers an inspector to serve a notice in specified circumstances (article 8). It is enforced by the local authority (article 9). Contravention of the Order is an offence under the Animal Health Act 1981. A Compliance Cost Assessment for this Order has been prepared and placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies can be obtained from the Animal Health (International Trade) Division of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Goverment Buildings, Hook Rise South, Tolworth, Surbiton, Surrey KT6 7NF.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
