These Regulations, which come into force on 31st March 2002, contain provisions concerning dairy produce quotas which, for which separate territorial enactments extending to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively would not be apt. Such enactments containing the majority of provisions in relation to daily produce quotas are the Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/457), the Dairy Produce Quotas (Wales) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/766 (W. 83)), the Dairy Produce Quotas (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (S.S.I. 2002/110), and the Dairy Produce Quotas Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (S.R. 2002/88). The Regulations provide for the meaning of the relevant competent authority in relation to producers, purchasers and other persons (regulation 3), maintain in existence the national reserve of milk quotas (regulation 4), specify the powers of authorised officers (regulation 5), provide offences of obstructing an authorised officer and of failing to comply with the requirements of any such authorised officer (regulation 6) and re-constitute, and set out the procedures of, the Dairy Produce Quota Tribunals (regulation 7 and Schedule). 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.
