Résumé

By reason of the destructive habits of mink it is desirable to control the keeping of them and to destroy any which may be at large. This Order prohibits absolutely the keeping of mink on certain off-shore islands of Great Britain and in certain parts of the Highland Region of Scotland and prohibits the keeping of mink in the rest of Great Britain except under licence (art. 3). The Order continues the prohibition imposed by the Mink Keeping Order 1992, which ceases to have effect on 1st January 1998. In consequence of the making of this Order the provisions of the Destructive Imported Animals Act 1932 will continue to apply to mink until the expiry date, subject to certain exceptions relating to the duty on occupiers of land to give notice of the presence on their land of mink not kept under a licence (art. 4).
