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 lay down requirements as to the particulars which must be contained in advertisements in the form of information sheets sent or delivered to pharmacists and ophthalmic and dispensing opticians relating to certain substances and fluids for use with contact lenses or blanks. They amend the Medicines (Data Sheet) Regulations 1972 so that those Regulations do not apply to data sheets which relate to such substances and fluids, and prescribe special particulars for such data sheets sent or delivered to doctors. They also contain certain transitional provisions.

Offences created by this instrument

Any person who contravenes the provisions of regulation 3 shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary… regulation 9 · Status not determined · Strict liability

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.
