Explanatory note

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

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 for securing the safety of the public where public use of that land is permitted and for the government of that land when so used by the public. These byelaws regulate the area of land known as the Atomic Weapons Establishment Blacknest and held under title number BK383872 registered at Gloucester District Land Registry, Twyver House, Bruton Way, Gloucester, GL1 1DQ. The area of land has been divided into two areas for the purposes of these byelaws, namely the Protected Area and the Controlled Area. Public access is only permitted in the Controlled Area. A copy of these byelaws and the map showing the Protected Area and Controlled Area to which these byelaws apply may be inspected on the Ministry of Defence web site http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/MicroSite/De/WhatWeDo/Byelaws. Copies have also been deposited with 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 any person who commits an offence against any byelaw made under the 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 level 2 is five hundred pounds (£500). Any person seeking a permission under byelaw 9(1)(b) should apply 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.
