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, which come into force on 16th December 1999, provide for enforcement of the rules of the United Kingdom’s Hill Livestock Compensatory Allowances Schemes in 2000 in England and Wales, and in Northern Ireland and Scotland where a farm includes land there as well as land in another of the United Kingdom’s four jurisdictions. They re-enact, with minor and drafting amendments, the enforcement provisions of the Hill Livestock (Compensatory Allowances) Regulations 1996, as amended. The rules of the Schemes for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are laid down in separate regulations. The Regulations comply with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1750/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF). Compensatory allowances are paid in compliance with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2603/1999 laying down rules for the transition to the rural development support provided for by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999. Regulations 4 and 5 contain powers of entry, inspection and collection of evidence and regulations 6 to 9 deal with offences and penalties. No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.

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.
