These Regulations, which apply to Great Britain, come into force on 1st July 1992. They implement Council Directive 89/396/EEC (OJ No. L186, 30.6.89, p. 21), as amended by Council Directives 91/238/EEC (OJ No. L107, 27.4.91, p. 50) and 92/11/EEC (OJ No. L65, 11.3.92, p. 32), on indications and marks identifying the lot to which a foodstuff belongs. Subject to exceptions the Regulations require food which has been produced, prepared or packaged as part of a lot to be so marked or labelled as to enable the lot to be identified (regulation 3).

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.
