Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order further partially revokes the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) (Wales) Order 1991 ("the principal Order") which contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food which has been or which may have been rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of radioactive substances from a nuclear reactor situated at Chernobyl in the Ukraine.

This partial revocation reduces a designated area in the county of Gwynedd subject to the restrictions set out in the principal Order.

Maps showing the areas which are designated by the principal Order and the area derestricted by this Order are available for inspection during normal office hours at the offices of the Welsh Office Agriculture Department at Penrallt, Caernarfon, Gwynedd LL55 1EP; Government Buildings, Spa Road East, Llandrindod Wells, Powys LD1 5HA and Cathays Park, Cardiff, South Glamorgan CF1 3NQ.
