These Regulations replace the Medicines (Medicated Animal Feeding Stuffs) Regulations 1992. These Regulations correct several minor drafting errors in the 1992 Regulations. In addition the Regulations— a substitute a new definition of “withdrawal period” (regulation 2(1)); b substantially increase the fee payable by manufacturers on registration, increase the fee for retention in the Register and decrease the fee for reinstatement in the Register (regulation 3(6)); c restrict the requirements relating to feeding stuffs imported from a member State to those in which a prescription only medicinal product has been incorporated (regulation 6(6)); d exempt pet shop owners, who sell final medicated feeding stuff in which a medicinal product has been incorporated (not being a prescription only product) by retail in pack sizes of 5 kg or less, from the requirement to be registered in either the Register of Merchants or of Manufacturers (regulation 8(1)). The Codes of Practice (for Category A and for Category B Registered Manufacturers of Medicated Animal Feeding Stuffs) are priced publications and are available from MAFF Publications, London SE99 7TP.

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.
