These byelaws regulate the land at AWE Burghfield. The land subject to these byelaws, namely the Protected Area and the Controlled Areas, comprise the land held under title numbers BK317833 and BK384888 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 Area 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.

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.
