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.

Section two hundred and seventy-twoof the Customs and Excise Act, 1952, empowers the Treasury, after consultation with the Admiralty and Commissioners of Customs and Excise, to make regulations governing the supply of duty-free goods to Ships of the Royal Navy and naval establishments. In pursuance of this power, these Regulations define the goods which may be supplied duty free (dutiable food and drink, tobacco and matches) and the classes of ships and naval establishments which are entitled to them. They also lay down the general conditions governing the supply of such goods and in the case of tobacco prescribe the quantity which may be allowed to each smoker per month. They replace and substantially re-enact, with minor modifications, the Duty-free Supplies for the Royal Navy Regulations, 1951, made under Section 20 of the Finance Act, 1950, which was repealed by the Customs and Excise Act, 1952.

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.
