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 varies the Bass (Specified Areas) (Prohibition of Fishing) Order 1990 (“the principal Order”) by substituting for the imperial measurement of 3 cables in the description of the Fawley Power Station area in column 1 of the Schedule to that Order the metric measurement of 556 metres being the nearest suitable metric equivalent measurement. The Order also gives effect to Council Directive 80/181/EEC (OJ No. L39, 15.2.80, p.40) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement, as amended by Council Directives 85/1/EEC (OJ No. L2, 3.1.85, p.11) and 89/617/EEC (OJ No. L357, 7.12.89, p.28), insofar as that Directive affects the principal 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.
