Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order is made under the United Nations Act 1946 and amends the Iraq and Kuwait (United Nations Sanctions) Order 1990 (“the principal Order”). It inserts a new Article 4A which prohibits payments under any bond in respect of a contract the performance of which is unlawful by virtue of the principal Order or the Export of Goods (Control) (Iraq and Kuwait Sanctions) Order 1990. It also prohibits the making of or obtaining payments under certain indemnities arising under such bonds. This Order extends the enforcement powers under the principal Order to land transport vehicles. It also introduces minor amendments to articles 2, 3, 5, 6 and 10 of the principal Order.

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.
