Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations implement the International Labour Organisation Conventions No. 92 (1949) and No. 133 (1970) agreed in Geneva. They lay down provisions for crew accommodation for all United Kingdom ships excluding fishing vessels, pleasure vessels and ships belonging to General Lighthouse Authorities. Part III of the Regulations provide that the owner of a ship to which these Regulations apply shall ensure that the equipment specified in Part III is of an approved type. The Regulations revoke and replace (with amendments) the Merchant Shipping (Crew Accommodation) Regulations 1978 as amended. The Principal amendment is to remove many of the requirements formerly imposed by Schedules 1, 2 and 4 of the 1978 Regulations. The ILO Conventions can be obtained from ILO Publications, International Labour Office, CH-1211 Geneva 22, Switzerland.

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.
