This is an Order embodying the Tuberculosis Order, 1914, which

Cattle and their exclusion from milking herds, and indirectly their

the Act shall not be removed or allowed to be used for human consumption
without the permission of the Medical Officer of the Local
Authority in whose district the slaughter takes place.
