Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

These Regulations revoke and remake with amendments the Reporting of Prices of Milk Products (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1441). They implement in England article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2005 (OJ No L 95, 14.4.05, 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, as amended from time to time. Regulation 3 requires milk processors to provide the Secretary of State with such information relating to the prices of certain milk products as the Secretary of State may require by notice. Regulation 4 sets out offences. A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect of the Reporting of Prices of Milk Products (England) Regulations 2005 on the costs of business was prepared at the time those Regulations were made and is still considered to be accurate. No impact assessment has been produced for this instrument as no new impact on the costs of business is foreseen. Copies of the 2005 assessment 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 that assessment has been placed in the library of 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.
