19.This section imposes a duty on the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (“the Minister”), and enables  the National Assembly for Wales by order to make a scheme for paying compensation to persons who incur income and non-income losses as a result of discontinuing fur farming businesses because of the enactment or coming into force of the prohibition in section 1. Subsection (1) makes it clear that the compensation scheme may provide for compensation to be payable to such persons whether or not they are still carrying on their business at the date that the prohibition comes into force.
