The effect of these amendments is to clarify that, in any prosecution for breach of the duty under regulation 8(5), the onus lies on the prosecution to prove that the use of the product was not in accordance with the requirements of the duty.

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.
