If a majority of the relevant licensed or authorised pilots agree not to require contracts of employment then an additional Trustee representing the pilots shall be appointed by the Amalgamated Gloucester Pilots, or otherwise by the Trustees after appropriate consultation; but this appointment ceases if subsequently pilots become so employed. In addition, the foregoing Trustees may co-opt two further Trustees. The Order also makes further provision as to the Trustees' powers respecting a reserve fund, the acceptance of gifts, borrowing powers and byelaws. It further re-defines the limits of the harbour of Gloucester, and extends the inward limits in the River Severn. The applicants for this Order are the Gloucester Harbour Trustees.

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.
