Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order temporarily disapplies and replaces the Markets, Sales and Lairs Order 1925 (S.I. 1925/1349) (as amended) in relation to Wales. It prohibits the use of premises for animal gatherings unless there is a licence permitting that activity (article 3). It requires— premises used for animal gatherings to be free of animals for 28 days before and after such an event unless those premises can be and are properly cleansed and disinfected (Schedule 1 paragraphs 1 — 5); premises that have become contaminated to be cleansed and disinfected prior to being used for an animal gathering (Schedule 1, paragraph 6); waste material derived from animal gatherings to be properly disposed of (Schedule 1, Paragraph 7). A regulatory appraisal has not been prepared for this Order.

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.
