(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 revokes and re-makes with amendments the Specified Bovine Material Order 1996. The Order makes a distinction between the general category of bovine animals over six months old and bovine animals which are slaughtered in pursuance of the purchase and slaughter scheme introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 716/996, adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market in the United Kingdom. Under the scheme both specified bovine material and other material from animals slaughtered under the scheme must be destroyed by incineration and not used for any purpose. This Order specifies the provisions which do not apply to material from scheme animals and those which apply with modifications.

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.
