This Order authorises Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (referred to in this Order as Network Rail) to construct and operate a new section of railway, running partly on embankment and partly on viaduct, to the north of Hitchin Station. The purpose of this Order is to enable rail services from Hitchin to Cambridge to pass over the East Coast Main Line at a separate grade from services operating along that line. The Order would permit Network Rail to acquire, compulsorily or by agreement, land and rights in land and to use land for this purpose. The Order also makes provision in connection with the maintenance of the new section of railway. A copy of the Order plans and the book of reference mentioned in this Order and certified in accordance with article 42 of this Order (certification of plans, etc.) may be inspected free of charge during working hours at the offices of the Company Secretary and Solicitor to Network Rail Infrastructure Limited at Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG.

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.
