Pet Travel Scheme (Scotland) Order 2003 (SSI 2003/229)

The Convener:

Although no points of substance have been noted in relation to the order, the committee may wish to raise questions on the interpretation of paragraph 1 of schedule 4, which seems pretty opaque. It is not clear whether the phrase

"who may be travelling with animals or involved in checking animals under this Order"

applies to staff or passengers. It is also unclear whether all staff who have contact must be trained. For instance, does that include the person who serves the tea? We also need to ask what is meant by "appropriately trained". What should staff be trained in and how? We will follow up that point.
