Part II of the Military Lands Act 1892 (c. 43) provides for the making of byelaws for regulating the use of land held for military purposes and securing the safety of the public. These byelaws regulate the land at AWE Aldermaston. The land subject to these byelaws, namely the Protected Areas and the Controlled Areas, comprise the land held under title numbers BK13835 and BK75759 that are registered at Gloucester District Land Registry, Twyver House, Bruton Way, Gloucester, GL1 1DQ. A copy of these byelaws and the plans showing the Protected Areas and Controlled Areas to which these byelaws apply may be inspected on the Ministry of Defence web site http://www.defence-estates.mod.uk/byelaws/Internet/Intro.html. Copies have also been deposited with the Tadley Library, 42-44 Mulfords Hill, Tadley Hampshire RG26 3JE and Berkshire Record Office, 9 Coley Avenue, Reading RG1 6AF and can be inspected on signboards erected locally. Copies may also be obtained from the Librarian, Defence Estates, Kingston Road, Sutton Coldfield B75 7RL. By section 17(2) of the Military Lands Act 1892, it is provided that any person who commits an offence against any byelaw made under this Act, is liable, on conviction before a court of summary jurisdiction, to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. At the time of printing the maximum fine on scale 2 is FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS (£500). Any person seeking an exemption under byelaw 10(b) should apply for permission in writing to the Byelaws Appointed Person, MOD, Room 2060, Building F6.1, AWE Aldermaston, Reading, Berkshire, RG7 4PR.

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.
