It also places restrictions on certain actions making available or otherwise transferring funds and financial resources to or for the benefit of UNITA as an organisation or of senior officials or adult members of their immediate families. The order amends the Angola (United Nations Sanctions) (Dependent Territories) Order 1997 to correct certain references therein. This Order does not affect the Angola (United Nations Sanctions) (Dependent Territories) Order 1993 nor the Angola (United Nations Sanctions) (Dependent Territories) Order 1997 other than as described above.

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.
