These Regulations give effect in part to Council Directive 91/173/EEC (OJ No. L85, 5.4.1991, p 34) which amended for the ninth time Directive 76/769/EEC (OJ No. L262, 27.9.1976, p 201) on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations. Regulation 2 provides that the Regulations do not apply to marketing or use which is authorised under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986 (S.I. 1986/1510). Regulation 3 prohibits the marketing of PCP other than its marketing, under certain conditions, for use in industrial installations for the impregnation of fibres or heavy duty textiles or as a synthesizing and/or processing agent. Regulation 4 prohibits the use of PCP other than for the purposes for which it may be marketed. Regulation 5 prohibits the use of wood treated with PCP inside buildings or for certain containers. Regulation 6 makes it a criminal offence to contravene regulations 3, 4 or 5 and specifies the penalties for such offences.

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.
