35 Minister to ensure levy is reviewed every 5 years

(1) The Minister must ensure that at least once every 5 years there is a review of whether a levy on manufactured feed and worm treatments is the most appropriate way of raising money to meet the costs of any emergency response to a disease affecting horses. (2) However, the Minister need not ensure there is a review within a 5‑year period if at the end of the period regulations are in force under the Horse Disease Response Levy Act 2011 providing for the working out of an amount (except a nil amount) of levy on a disposal of manufactured feed or worm treatment. (3) If there is not a review in that period, the Minister must ensure that there is a review described in subsection (1) as soon as practicable after there are not any such regulations in force.
