It also replaces an incorrect reference, in article 20(1), to the Transport of Animals (Cleansing and Disinfection) (England) Order 2003 (SI 2003/255) with a reference to the Transport of Animals (Cleansing and Disinfection) (England) (No 3) Order 2003 (SI 2003/1724).

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
