1981 c. 22. Powers to make Orders under these sections were originally conferred on "the Ministers" by section 86 of the Act. These powers are now exercisable by the Secretary of State. Functions of "the Ministers" were transferred, so far as exercisable by the Secretaries of State for Scotland and Wales, to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food by the Transfer of Functions (Agriculture and Food) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/3141). Functions of the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food were then further transferred to the Secretary of State by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Dissolution) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/794).
