Explanatory note

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

This Order varies the dates during which the prohibition of fishing for scallops under article3 of the Scallops (Luce Bay) (Prohibition of Fishing) Order 2010 (S.S.I.2010/375) (“the 2010 Order”) applies. Article3 of the 2010 Order prohibits fishing for scallops of the species Pecten maximus in Luce Bay (the area of the prohibition is described in the Schedule to the 2010 Order). The prohibition in article3 of the 2010 Order has effect from 1stNovember 2010 and applies to any fishing boat within the area of the Scottish zone described in the Schedule to the 2010 Order. This Order varies article1 of the 2010 Order such that the 2010 Order remains in force until the end of 7thDecember 2010 at which time the prohibition on fishing in article3 will come to an end. A person who contravenes the prohibition contained in article3 of the 2010 Order is guilty of an offence under section5(1) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967. Penalties applicable to the commission of such offences are contained in section11 of that 1967 Act. No Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared for this instrument.

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.
