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 revoke the Pottery (Health) Special Regulations 1947 of which regulation 4 (relating to the prohibition of lead glazes) is the only substantive provision now in force and modify the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 1980 to provide equivalent prohibitions. The Regulations also revoke those of the provisions of the Pottery (Health and Welfare) Special Regulations 1950 which have been superseded by the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 1980 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 (S.I. 1988/1657). Regulation 7 of the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 1980 has been modified so as to permit respiratory protective equipment to be used which conforms to a standard for the time being approved by the Health and Safety Executive.

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.
