This Order extends certain provisions of the Aviation Security Act 1982, (as amended) and of the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990, with adaptations and modifications, to the Territories specified in Schedule 1. A number of the provisions now forming part of Part I of the 1982 Act, were previously contained in the following instruments: Orders made under the Hijacking Act 1971 and the Protection of Aircraft Act 1973 in relation to all the Territories with the exception of Anguilla; and with respect to Anguilla, in an Order made under the 1982 Act. The present Order consolidates the earlier provisions together with: the provisions of Part II of the 1982 Act (as amended) which relate to the protection of aircraft, aerodromes and air navigation installations; the provisions of section 1 of the 1990 Act which relate to endangering safety at aerodromes, with appropriate adaptations and modifications. The Order also extends the provisions of section 26(1) and (2) of the Merchant Shipping and Maritime Security Act 1997 relating to piracy to the Territories.

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.
