These Regulations make provision for the enforcement of certain of the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 716/96, adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market in the United Kingdom. That Regulation authorises the United Kingdom to introduce a scheme for the purchase of any bovine animal aged over 30 months which does not exhibit any clinical sign of BSE and which was, during a period of at least three months prior to its sale, present on a holding located on United Kingdom territory. Various requirements are specified as to the slaughter, treatment and disposal of animals subject to that scheme. Regulation 3 creates offences in respect of the provisions of the Commission Regulation referred to in Column 1 (and described in Column 2) of the Schedule.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
