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.

The Hijacking Act 1971 (Overseas Territories) Order 1971 was inadvertently not laid before Parliament, although Article 4 and Schedule 3 were made under the Foreign Jurisdiction Act 1890, section 11 of which provides for Orders to be laid, and section 3 in Schedule 1 was made under section 17 of the Fugitive Offenders Act 1967 (as extended by section 6(1) of the Hijacking Act 1971), subsection (3) of which provides for Orders to be subject to annulment. The remainder of the Order was made under section 6(2) of the Hijacking Act 1971, Orders under which are subject to no Parliamentary procedure. Accordingly this Order revokes Article 4 of, and section 3 in Schedule 1 to, and Schedule 3 to, the Hijacking Act 1971 (Overseas Territories) Order 1971, and replaces them with identical provisions. The present Order is not retrospective.

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.
