The Warble Fly (Ascertainment of Infestation) (England and Wales) Order 1985
This order extends the meaning of “disease” to the infestation of cattle with the maggot of the warble fly for the purposes of section 63(9) of the Animal Health Act 1981 (Article 2). Section 63(9) as amended by section 2 of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 1984 enables a Ministry inspector to enter any land, building or other place for the purpose of ascertaining whether any disease exists, or has within 56 days existed, there. These powers will now be exercisable not only in relation to the diseases mentioned in Article 3 of the Diseases of Animals (Ascertainment of Disease) Order 1985 (S.I. 1985/1765) but also in relation to the infestation of cattle with the maggot of the warble fly.
