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 applies the Extradition Act 1989 so as to make extraditable the offences described in the Nuclear Material (Offences) Act 1983 (c. 18), attempts to commit such offences and participation in the commission of such offences. It applies to States Parties to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, opened for signature at New York and Vienna on 3rd March 1980; it does not apply to those States Parties (Commonwealth countries and Parties to the European Convention on Extradition) in relation to which the definition of extraditable offence already includes offences of the kind mentioned in this 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.
