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.

The Order authorises the Avon Valley Railway Heritage Trust to construct, maintain and operate a railway (380 metres in length) in the areas of the Councils of South Gloucestershire and of Bath and North East Somerset consisting of an extension of the railway authorised by the Bitton Light Railway Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/134). The railway will be laid entirely on part of the trackbed of the former Bath to Bristol line. The Order contains provisions for the maintenance and operation of the railway and authorises the undertaker to transfer the railway and the existing railway (constructed under the powers conferred by the Bitton Light Railway Order 1991). The deposited plan and section may be inspected at all reasonable hours at Bitton Railway Station, Willsbridge, Bristol.

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.
