Part 3 makes provision for the movement of animals for slaughter in a 

 Scheduled District, excluding such part of it as may be defined as a Prohibited 

 Area. Markets and sales where the animals are intended for immediate 

 slaughter may be sanctioned by the L.A. within a Scheduled District, but not

 for sale is required. 



Part 4 defines the conditions under which movement licences are granted
