§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked the President of the Board of Agriculture what are the words in Section 22 of the Diseases of Animals Act, 1894, or elsewhere in that or any other Statute, which authorise the Board to make an Order overriding the Order of a local authority except for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating the, consignment of diseased or suspected animals?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANIt is provided by Section 22 of the Diseases of Animals Act, 1894, that the Board of Agriculture may make such Orders as they think fit for prohibiting or regulating the movement of animals and for authorising a local authority to make regulations for any of the purposes of the Act or of an Order of the Beard. These provisions enable the Board to limit the scope of regulations made by a local authority for the prohibition or regulation of the movement of animals.
