(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (Amendment) (Scotland) Order 2001 (S.S.I. 2001/52) to substitute article 35B(1) and (2). These provisions allow local authorities in areas where foot and mouth disease has been confirmed to make regulations prohibiting the movement of persons into or out of specified areas except on public roads. In areas where foot-and-mouth disease has not been confirmed the local authority may make such regulations with the consent of the Scottish Ministers.
