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 varies the Sea Fish Licensing Order 1989 which prohibits fishing, subject to exceptions, by British fishing boats in specified areas of sea for the principal species of sea fish, unless authorised by a licence. This Order extends the scope of that prohibition to include fishing for all species of sea fish in ICES IIa (Norwegian Sea) and IV (North Sea) (article 2 and Schedule).

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.
