Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations amend the Goods Vehicle (Testing) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (the “2003 Regulations”) by making provision for the issuing of a certificate of temporary exemption and to allow such a certificate to be acceptable when applying for a licence under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (the “1994 Act”). Regulation 2 creates a new regulation, 22A (certificates of temporary exemption), which makes provision for the Department of the Environment to issue a certificate of temporary exemption. Regulation 2 also prescribes the content of the certificate of temporary exemption. Regulation 3 amends regulation 23 (production of certificate on application for licence) of the 2003 Regulations so as to allow a current certificate of temporary exemption to be an acceptable document (in lieu of a current vehicle test certificate) when making an application for a licence under the 1994 Act.

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.
