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 are made in consequence of amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”) made by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008. They cover two separate matters relating to the procedures of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (“the Authority”). Regulation 2 empowers the Licence Committee of the Authority, when it is to determine an application for the grant, revocation or variation of a licence at a hearing, to require a person to attend and give evidence, or to produce documents. Regulation 3 makes provision relating to the execution of warrants. By paragraph 6 of Schedule 3B to the 1990 Act, a person entering and searching premises under a warrant must give the occupier or person in charge of the premises a copy of the warrant and “an appropriate statement”. This regulation sets out the information which must be included in that statement.

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.
