Section 8(1) of the Animal Health Act 1981 (c. 22) is amended by section 34(2) of the Agriculture Act 2020 (c. 21).
1981 c. 22. The expression “the Ministers” is defined in section 86(1)(c). These powers, so far as exercisable by the Secretaries of State for Scotland and Wales in relation to England, were transferred to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food by S.I. 1999/3141 and were transferred to the Secretary of State by S.I. 2002/794. Section 87(4) of the Act provides that, subject to certain sections, the Act has effect in relation to poultry as it has effect in relation to animals. S.I. 2003/1078, made under (inter alia) section 87(5)(a), extended the definition of “poultry” to include all birds. Paragraphs 13 to 15 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (c. 16), which required the affirmative procedure, enhanced scrutiny procedure and explanatory statements for instruments which amend subordinate legislation made under section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68), were repealed by section 10(1) of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (c. 28).
