Welfare of Animals Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 Explanatory Notes

Section 24 - Inspection in connection with licences

This section concerns powers of inspection in relation to activities for which it is necessary to obtain a licence. It provides that routine inspections may be carried out to check that licence conditions are being complied with. Currently, in relation to some activities that require a licence, inspections can only be made when inspectors suspect an offence has been committed.
