Explanatory note

These Regulations revoke and replace the Food (Lot Marking) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992. They come into operation on 1st October 1996. Like the previous Regulations, these Regulations implement Council Directive 89/396/EEC (O.J. No. L186, 30.6.89, p. 21) as amended by Council Directives 91/238/EEC (O.J. No. L107, 27.4.91, p. 50) and 92/11/EEC (O.J. No. L65, 11.3.92, p. 32). The new Regulations continue the previous requirements that food which has been produced, prepared or packaged as part of a lot is so marked or labelled as to enable the lot to be identified. The Regulations have been made with a view to simplifying the previous Regulations.

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.
