Regulation 2001
under the
Stock (Chemical Residues) Act 1975
His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Stock (Chemical Residues) Act 1975.
RICHARD AMERY, M.P.,
Minister for Agriculture
Explanatory note
The powers to issue, vary and revoke notices for the detention of chemically affected stock, which are conferred on the Minister under section 8 of the Stock (Chemical Residues) Act 1975, were previously conferred under that section on both the Minister and prescribed officers. Accordingly, it was necessary for regulations made under that Act to prescribe certain officers for the purposes of section 8. This was done by clause 4 of the Stock (Chemical Residues) Regulation 1995. The persons prescribed by that clause were also “prescribed officers” for the purposes of other provisions of the Regulation.
Section 8 no longer refers to any prescribed officer. Accordingly, this Regulation amends the Stock (Chemical Residues) Regulation 1995 so as to:
| (a) | repeal clause 4 (and make a consequential amendment), and |
| (b) | replace references to prescribed officers in other provisions of the Regulation with references to certain officers of the Department of Agriculture. |

| Explanatory note |
This Regulation also prescribes inspectors (that is, inspectors who are appointed under the Stock Diseases Act 1923) who are not officers of the Department of Agriculture as additional persons to whom the Minister may, under section 13A of the Stock (Chemical Residues) Act 1975, delegate certain of the Minister’s powers, authorities, duties and functions under that Act. (Officers of the Department of Agriculture are already prescribed for the purposes of section 13A.)
This Regulation is made under the Stock (Chemical Residues) Act 1975, and, in particular, under sections 10 (Power to seize stock), 13A (Delegation of functions) and 16 (the general regulation-making power).
