The Avian Influenza and Influenza of Avian Origin in Mammals (England) Order 2006 (revoked)

Measures in a temporary movement restriction zone E+W+S

15.—(1) The Secretary of State must, in a declaration of a temporary movement restriction zone (and in relation to such part or parts of the zone as she thinks fit), ban or restrict the movement of such of the following as she considers necessary—

(a) poultry;

(b) other captive birds;

(c) eggs;

(d) vehicles used to transport poultry, other captive birds, eggs or anything else likely to transmit avian influenza;

(e) mammals.

(2) If the Secretary of State bans or restricts the movement of mammals within a temporary movement restriction zone, she must lift the ban or restriction within 72 hours of it being declared unless she is satisfied that its continuation is necessary to minimise the risk of the spread of avian influenza (notwithstanding any continuing restrictions on the movement of other things listed in paragraph (1)).

(3) If the Secretary of State imposes restrictions on the movement of mammals beyond 72 hours from when they were originally declared, she must review her decision to impose such restrictions a maximum of 72 hours after each renewal.
