Abstract

These Regulations prohibit the use of lead shot for shooting with a shot gun on or over wetlands. Regulation 2 contains definitions of terms used. In regulation 3 "wetlands" is described by the Ramsar Convention on wetlands. Regulation 5 sets out powers to enable a constable to ascertain whether an offence has been committed under these Regulations. Regulation 6 places a duty on a constable to ensure, when leaving unoccupied land or land of which the owner is temporarily absent, which the constable has entered in exercise of the powers under regulation 5, that the land is effectively secured against unauthorised entry as the constable found it. Regulation 7 creates the offence of contravention of regulation 4. Regulation 8 provides for offences which are committed by bodies corporate, partnerships and unincorporated associations and extends liability to persons in control of such bodies in certain circumstances.
