1907.] Sheep-Dipping Orders, 1907. 



745 



subject to the provision (Art. 6) of the Order which requires 

 dipping and isolation after exposure in markets. 



(2) As regards the Sheep-Dipping (Scotland and North of 

 England) Order of 1907, three Orders of 1906 are by it revoked, 

 these being the Sheep-Dipping (Scotland) Order of 1906, the 

 Sheep-Dipping (Scotland) Order of 1906 (No. 2), and the 

 Sheep-Dipping (North of England) Order of 1906. In the 

 new Order the Board have given effect to various representa- 

 tions made to them with the object of removing certain diffi- 

 culties which have been experienced under the Order of last 

 year. The principal modifications are as follows :— 



Provision has been made [Art. 3 (2)] for an extension of the 

 time of dipping sheep moved into the area at the end of the 

 period. The return of dipping is to be rendered only when the 

 Local Authority are not represented at the dipping [Art. 4 (3)]. 

 Some elasticity is now allowed in the conditions imposed, which 

 wiir permit of movement by licence of the Local Authority for 

 slaughter, dipping, or other necessary purpose. All restrictions 

 on movement out of the area before the ist September are 

 dispensed with in view of the dipping orders in operation else- 

 where in Great Britain (Art. 15). A new clause has been in- 

 serted [Art. 1 5 (2)] by which the movement of sheep through 

 markets may in many instances be facilitated. Provision has 

 been made for simplifying the procedure as regards declarations 

 in the case of sheep introduced from other parts of Great Britain 

 or from Ireland after the termination of the dipping period in 

 force in those parts. 



The dippings of sheep which have taken place since the ist 

 January in accordance with the Order of 1906 will satisfy the 

 requirements of the new Order for the first dipping period of 

 the current year. 



(3) The Sheep-Dipping (Wales and Monmouth) Order of 

 1907 will apply to the whole of Wales (with the exception of 

 the county of Carnarvon, where the Sheep Scab [Compulsory 

 Dipping Areas] Order of 1906 remains in force) and to the 

 county of Monmouth, and it provides for the annual , dipping of 

 all sheep within that area. 



As few changes as possible have been made in the arrange- 

 ments prescribed by the Sheep-Dipping (Wales) Order of 1906,
