These Regulations amend the Welfare of Animals (Transport) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (“the principal Regulations”). Regulation 2(2) inserts ambulatory references to Council Regulation (EC) No.1/2005 and Council Regulation (EC) No.1255/97 and a definition of “inspector”. Regulation 2(3) amends regulation 9 of the principal Regulations to clarify that the control post must be approved prior to being operated. Regulation 2(4) amends regulation 22(1) of the principal Regulations to clarify that where an inspector considers animals are being transported, or are about to be transported, in a way which contravenes the Regulations or constitutes an offence under the Act, that inspector may serve a notice on a person who is responsible for the animals on a permanent or temporary basis. Regulation 2(5) inserts new provisions 24A and 24B. Regulation 24A provides for the service of notices and other documents under the principal Regulations and regulation 24B inserts provisions setting out an appeals procedure. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.

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.
