(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order varies Schedule 2 to the Salmon Act 1986 by-�
(a)providing that at least one representative of upper, and of lower, proprietors be elected unless there is either no upper, or lower proprietor, or no upper, or lower, proprietor willing to be elected (article 2(2)(a));
(b)removing the requirement that there be a maximum number of representatives of qualified proprietors and instead providing for a minimum number of three (article 2(2) and (5));
(c)removing the need for balance between the representatives of salmon anglers and of tenant netsmen (article 2(4) and (5)(e)); and
(d)providing for the election of a chairman by representatives of qualified proprietors and co-opted representatives (article 2(5)(c)).
The Order also abolishes the right of a proprietor of a salmon fishery which is not entered in the valuation roll to vote in an election of representatives (article 2(2)(b)).
The Order also makes consequential variations.
The Order will not affect the validity of any election or co-option which took place before the date of its coming into force (article 3).
