Explanatory note

This Order amends various Orders and Regulations applying to Great Britain which refer to the Food and Drugs Act 1955, the Food and Drugs (Scotland) Act 1956 and the Food Act 1984. The 1955 Act was consolidated by the 1984 Act, and the 1956 and 1984 Acts have been largely repealed by the Food Safety Act 1990. The Order amends Orders and Regulations relating to medicines and drugs, Regulations made under the European Communities Act 1972 and other Orders and Regulations. References in these instruments to earlier legislation are replaced with references to the Food Safety Act 1990 in relation to enforcement, public analysts, defences and associated matters.

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.
