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.

These Regulations contain repeals and modifications of provisions of the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963 and instruments thereunder. They are made in consequence of the establishment on 1st January 1975 of the Health and Safety Executive and the coming into operation on that date of provisions of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 which supersede or affect the said provisions. The Regulations therefore— (a) transfer the functions of factory inspectors and mines and quarries inspectors to inspectors appointed by the Health and Safety Executive under the 1974 Act; (b) apply, with certain exceptions, to offences committed on or after 1st January 1975 the penalties prescribed in the 1974 Act; (c) repeal powers and provisions which are superseded by powers and provisions contained in the 1974 Act, including in particular— (i) powers to make regulations and other instruments; (ii) powers of inspectors (other than fire authority inspectors); (iii) provisions relating to inquiries; (iv) provisions relating to certain offences, penalties and legal proceedings.

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.
