| Administrative / biographical background: |
An Animal Health Bill Team was created in 2001 under the Animal Disease Control Division, in order to make amendments to the Animal Health Act 1981, in light of the 2001 Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak. Amendments were required to provide new powers to deal rapidly with any resurgence or future outbreak of foot and mouth disease. These measures increase the options that are available to the Government for effective disease control, including wider powers of slaughter and new powers of entry for vaccination, slaughter and other purposes. |
