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 revokes, with effect from 1st April 2003, the Orders listed in article 4 which made modifications to Code C and Code D of the codes of practice issued under section 67 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. The modifications were either temporary or applied only in certain police areas where the provisions of section 63B of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c. 60) (testing for presence of Class A drugs) were being piloted. Fully revised versions of those Codes C and D are to be brought into force on 1st April 2003 by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Codes of Practice) (Codes B to E) (No. 2) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/703) and are available for purchase from The Stationery Office. The modifications set out in the Schedule to this Order will apply to Codes C and D in the police areas specified in article 3 where the piloting will continue. The modifications are in substantially the same form as those revoked by this Order.

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.
