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 (read with the Animal Health Act 1981) implements Council Directive 92/40/EEC introducing Community measures for the control of avian influenza and Council Directive 92/66/EEC introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease (OJ No L 167, 22.6.92. p.1 and L260, 5.9.92, p.1). It also makes provision in relation to disinfection and record keeping (articles 10 and 11). It also revokes several Orders concerned with poultry (Schedule 4) and makes some consequential amendments (article 15). Failure to comply with the provisions of the Order is an offence under section 73 of the Animal Health Act 1981. A Compliance Cost Assessment has been prepared and a copy has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament.

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.
