Publisher description
The report details the Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development's additional consideration of Clause 8 (Biosecurity) of the Diseases of Animals Bill. The Bill introduces amendments to the Diseases of Animals Order 1981. In total there are 24 clauses and 3 schedules contained in the Bill. Of these, the Committee gave a qualified response in respect of one clause. It agreed a further 17 clauses and two schedules as drafted and, following negotiation with the Department, agreed five clauses and one schedule as amended. This latter grouping included Clause 8 of the Bill. Clause 8 of the Bill (inserting Articles 4A and 4B into the 1981 Order) would have enabled DARD to prepare and publish biosecurity guidance for any disease specified by order. Failure to comply with published guidance would not have rendered a person liable in any civil or criminal proceedings but a court could have taken account of any failure to act in accordance with the guidance in deciding any question in such proceedings. The Clause would also have allowed DARD to withhold, either wholly or in part, compensation in respect of an animal slaughtered under the 1981 Order. The Committee was opposed to the linking of compliance to the code and compensation payments. The Committee accepted that the Department wished to have a deterrent for non-compliance with the guidance in the face of the Bill. However, the Committee view was that admissibility of non-compliance in the courts was a sufficient deterrent and that the link with compensation payments was extreme. The Department considered the Committee arguments and agreed to remove the link between non-compliance and a reduction in compensation from the Bill
