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 implement the provisions of Council Directive 2002/15/EC concerning the organisation of the working time of persons performing mobile road transport activities. The Regulations prescribe the maximum weekly working time and maximum average weekly working time of mobile workers who, in the course of their work, drive or travel in goods or passenger vehicles which are covered by the Community Drivers' Hours Regulation (Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3820/85) and they prescribe the reference periods over which such time is to be calculated. They also regulate periods of availability, breaks, rest periods and night work. They require employers to keep records of the time worked and to provide copies. They make it an offence to fail to comply with their requirements and provide for enforcement.

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.
