This Order revokes and re-enacts with modifications the Export of Horses (Excepted Cases) Order 1966. By its terms, there are exempted from examination by a veterinary inspector (as required by section 37(1) (as amended) of the Diseases of Animals Act 1950 for horses over 14½ hands in height intended for export) (1) horses intended for export by sea or air to the Republic of Ireland or to any place outside Europe. (2) horses intended for export to Europe which the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food or the Secretary of State for Scotland is satisfied are intended for exhibition, breeding or various sporting purposes, and (3) foals travelling with their dams when the dams fall within a category above described. In all cases, (other than accompanying foals), these exemptions relate to horses over 14½ hand in height.

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.
