This Order, made under the United Nations Act 1946, applies to each of the territories specified in Schedule 1.

The Order also restricts the taking off from, landing in or flying over any of the specified territories of flights destined for or originating from Afghanistan. It also prohibits the making available of funds to Usama bin Laden and his associates, and prohibits the establishment or maintenance of Taliban offices or the carrying on of any business by Ariana Afghan Airlines. In addition, the Order imposes restrictions pursuant to a decision of the Security Council of the United Nations in its Resolution 1267 of 15th October 1999 by prohibiting any aircraft from taking off from or landing in the specified territories if it is owned, leased, or operated by or on behalf of the Taliban. It also freezes assets of the Taliban or any undertaking owned or controlled by them. This Order revokes the Afghanistan (United Nations Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 1999.

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.
