178.Section 31 of the Act makes some adjustments to section 19 of the 1996 Act, which makes it an offence to use vehicles to drive deer unless SNH has granted an authorisation.
179.Subsection (2) makes section 19 consistent with the other authorisation provisions by allowing owners or occupiers to obtain an authorisation, or nominate third parties for an authorisation. Occupiers were previously not included in this section.
