EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Article 2 of this Order amends the Cattle Compensation (England) Order (S.I. 2012/1379) to replace a reference to the Tuberculosis (England) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/740) with a reference to the Tuberculosis (England) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/2383) (“the 2014 Order”).
Article 3 amends article 9 of the 2014 Order to narrow the scope for exemption from a pre-movement test so that bovine animals in a herd subject to routine tuberculosis testing more frequently than biennially are subject to skin tests before they are moved off the premises.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
