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 amends various Orders and Regulations applying to England and Wales which refer to the Food and Drugs Act 1955 and the Food Act 1984. The 1955 Act was consolidated by the 1984 Act, which has now been largely repealed by the Food Safety Act 1990. The Order amends Regulations referring to the 1955 Act and the 1984 Act. It amends Regulations defining food so that they are consistent with the new definition in the 1990 Act, and changes references to food and drugs authorities and (where necessary) local authorities to food authorities as defined in that Act. Where Regulations apply provisions of the earlier Acts, they are amended so that the provisions of the 1990 Act are applied. Amendments are made to Regulations relating to imports and meat, and Regulations relating to milk are amended so that provisions contained in the 1984 Act concerning milk are now in those Regulations. Port Health Authority Orders are amended so that they refer to the 1990 Act. Necessary miscellaneous textual amendments are made to Regulations having effect under the 1990 Act which is applied (with modifications) to the Isles of Scilly in place of the 1984 Act.

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.
