This Order also provides that sections 202 and 203 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 shall apply to byelaws for the harbour undertaking made by the Council and that byelaws and regulations in force when this Order comes into operation shall continue in force. This Order being subject to special parliamentary procedure, the provisions of the Statutory Orders (Special Procedure) Acts of 1945 and 1965 determine the date upon which it comes into force. The applicants for this Order are the Western Isles Islands Council, Sandwick Road, Stornoway, PA87 2BW.

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.
