In addition, the Order authorises the construction of a new fish market at the site of the former Greenhill Fish Market and the demolition and levelling of the site of the existing fish market at Merchant’s Quay. The Order also authorises a widening of the Junction Canal with associated demolition and removal of Queenie Bridge as well as the demolition of certain other buildings and the removal and relocation of the stone lighthouse structure required in consequence of the construction of the works. The Order also authorises the construction of subsidiary works and confers a power to dredge for the purposes of constructing and maintaining the works. For the purposes of carrying out the works, the Order authorises the Authority to temporarily close the area of works to vessels. In connection with the works, the Order authorises the temporary stopping up of Bridge Street and part of Castle Street, the temporary stopping up and diversion of part of the Bay Footpath at Smith Embankment, the permanent stopping up of part of Port Henry Pier and the permanent stopping up and diversion of part of Alexandra Parade.

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.
