It provides that bovine heads (other than tongues) shall be disposed of as specified bovine material as well as the materials specified in the earlier Order. A Compliance Cost Assessment has been prepared and 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.
