PLANT HEALTH ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1967 - SECT 2

Control of introduction of pests into Northern Ireland.

2.(1) The Ministry of Agriculture (in this Act referred to as "the Ministry")
may from time to time make such orders as it thinks expedient [or called for
by any Community obligation] for preventing the introduction of pests into
Northern Ireland.

(2) Where it appears to the Ministry that the landing in Northern Ireland of
articles of any description (and in particular plants, trees or bushes or any
part or produce thereof) is likely to introduce a pest into Northern Ireland,
the orders may prohibit or regulate the landing of those articles, and may
direct or authorise their destruction if landed (without prejudice to
provisions of [the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979] imposing penalties
or liability to forfeiture).

[(3) An order under this section may provide that a person who contravenes the
order shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction
to a fine not exceeding #100 or in respect of a second or subsequent offence
to a fine not exceeding #200.]
