These Regulations, which come into force on 1st July 2005, make provision in England for the implementation of article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 562/2005 (O.J. No. L 95, 14.4.2005, p.11) laying down rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards communications between the Member States and the Commission in the milk and milk products sector. Regulation 2 requires milk processors to provide the Secretary of State with such information relating to the prices of certain milk products, as she may require by notice. Failure to comply with such a requirement is an offence punishable on summary conviction by a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale (regulation 3). A full regulatory impact assessment on the effect which this instrument will have on the costs of business has been prepared and copies can be obtained from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Area 5d, 9 Millbank, c/o Nobel House, 17 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JR. A copy of the assessment has been placed in each House of Parliament.

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.
