These Regulations update and replace the Health and Safety (Fees) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/456). They fix or determine the fees payable by an applicant to, in most cases, the Health and Safety Executive, in respect of an application made for— an approval under mines and quarries legislation (regulation 2 and Schedule 1); an approval of plant or equipment under the Agriculture (Tractor Cabs) Regulations 1974 (regulation 3 and Schedule 2); an approval of a scheme or programme under the Freight Containers (Safety Convention) Regulations 1984 (regulation 4 and Schedule 3); a licence under the Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations 1983 and the amendment to, replacement of, and reassessment of an application to grant, such a licence (regulation 5 and Schedule 4); an approval of dosimetry services for the purposes of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999 or the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (regulation 8 and Schedule 7); an approval, authorisation or licence etc. under the Explosives Act 1875 and certain instruments made thereunder, for a licence under the Petroleum (Consolidation) Act 1928, for the transfer of a licence under the Petroleum (Transfer of Licences) Act 1936, or for the classification of an article, substance, combination or unit load under the Classification and Labelling of Explosives Regulations 1983 (regulation 9 and Schedule 8); an explosives licence under Part IX of the Dangerous Substances in Harbour Areas Regulations 1987 (regulation 11 and Schedule 9); certificates and applications for approvals under the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2004 (regulation 12 and Schedules 10, 11,and 12); an approval under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 (regulations 20 and 22 and Schedule 18); an approval under the Offshore Installations and Pipeline Works (First-Aid) Regulations 1989 (regulations 21 and 22 and Schedule 19); and in respect of— a notification or application under the Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) Regulations 2000 (regulation 14 and Schedule 13); a notification or application under the Notification of New Substances Regulations 1993 (regulation 15 and Schedule 14). The Regulations fix fees to be paid in respect of medical examinations and surveillance by an employment medical adviser which are required under certain of the relevant statutory provisions (regulations 6 and 7 and Schedules 5 and 6). The Regulations fix or determine the fees payable by specified persons in the offshore, rail and gas industries for the performance by the Executive of the functions specified in those provisions (regulations 16 to 19 and Schedules 15 to 17). Besides the increases for fixed fees which are indicated in the table below, the Regulations make a minor amendment to regulation 22(6)(b)(i) of the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/743) concerning the period up to which fees may be charged in relation to criminal investigations (regulation 23). This replicates a similar provision now included in regulation 19(2)(b)(i) of these Regulations. The new fees compared with those fixed by or determined under the previous fee-charging provisions are as follows: where surveillance is confined to examination of, and making entries in, records in other cases for laboratory tests where these are carried out for a clinical medical examination where this is carried out Schedule 7 Table 1 Bio-assay or in-vivo monitoring or air sampling for each additional technique quantity of the new substance equal to or more than 100 kg (regulation 6(1)) quantity of the new substance up to 100 kg (regulation 6(2))

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.
