This Order repeals and replaces the local legislation applying to Porthmadog harbour, namely an Act of 1821 and the Porthmadog Harbour Revision Order 1974. The Order re-enacts provisions of the 1974 Order with amendments, and it confers further powers on the harbour authority, Gwynedd Council (successors in title of the Trustees who were the harbour authority mentioned in the 1974 Order, article 2). The further powers include powers as to— a dredging and provision of dredgers; b boating facilities; c moorings; d the removal of unserviceable vessels; e charging for services and facilities; and f the making of byelaws. The Order also establishes a new consultative committee for the harbour in place of the Porthmadog Harbour Committee constituted under the 1974 Order.

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.
