These Regulations prohibit the importation into Great Britain of bivalve molluscs of the pectinidae family originating in Japan (whether dead or alive), and any products thereof, (regulation 2).

The Regulations are to be enforced in England and Wales by district councils, London borough councils and the Common Council of the City of London, and in Scotland by district and islands councils, except that within the area of port health authorities in England and Wales or port local authorities in Scotland, they are instead to be enforced by those authorities (regulation 5).

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.
