It provides for a Governor as Her Majesty’s representative in the Islands. It provides for a House of Assembly composed of elected and appointed members, and for a Cabinet and Ministers appointed from among the members of the House. It also provides for the judiciary, the public service and a Complaints Commissioner for the Islands. The Order revokes the Turks and Caicos Islands Constitution Order 1988 (as amended), to which the current Constitution is scheduled.

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.
