These Regulations re-enact with minor and drafting amendments the Agriculture (Avoidance of Accidents to Children) Regulations 1958/366, which they revoke. The Regulations prohibit the riding by a child on certain classes of vehicle or machine used in agricultural operations or going to and from the site of such operations, and the riding on agricultural implements while towed or propelled, or on animal-drawn rollers. A cost benefit assessment prepared in respect of these Regulations is available from the Health and Safety Executive, Safety Policy Directorate, General and Technical Safety Policy Division, Rose Court, 2 Southwark Bridge, London SE1 9HS.

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.
