  • The Weeds Act 1959 is a Consolidation Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Section 1(1) states: "Where the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (in this Act referred to as " the Minister ") is satisfied that there are injurious weeds to which this Act applies growing upon any land he may serve upon the occupier of the land a notice in writing requiring him, within the time specified in the notice, to take such action as may be necessary to prevent the weeds from spreading." It received Royal Assent on 16 July 1959. The Act preserved powers contained in the Corn Production Acts (Repeal) Act 1921 (11 & 12 Geo. 5. c,48), but which were originally inserted into the Corn Production Act 1917 (7 & 8 Geo. V, c. 46) by the Agriculture Act 1920 (10 & 11 Geo. V c. 76). The Act confers a permissive power, allowing, but not requiring the Minister to make orders (or take any other action). It does not make controlling the plants listed compulsory for landowners or occupiers. It does not prohibit anyone from growing them, and it does not make possession of any of those plants a criminal offence. (en)
