Explanatory note

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

This Order varies the Bass (Specified Areas) (Prohibition of Fishing) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/1156) (“the principal Order”). The Order varies the principal Order to prohibit fishing for sea fish using sand eels for bait in the areas, and during the periods, specified in the Schedule to the Order (article 2(2)). The Order substitutes a new Schedule for the Schedule set out in the principal Order (article 2(3)). The Bass (Specified Areas) (Prohibition of Fishing) (Variation) Order 1992 is revoked (article 3). A single regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in relation to both this Order and the Sea Fish (Specified Sea Area) (Regulation of Nets and Prohibition of Fishing Methods) (Variation) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/74) and deposited in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament.

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.
