The Order, made under the United Nations Act 1946, the St Helena Act 1833, the British Settlements Acts 1887 and 1945, and prerogative powers, gives effect to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1989 (2011) adopted on 17th June 2011. Resolution 1989 (2011) maintains in force the sanctions first imposed by resolution 1267 (1999) against Al-Qaida and individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with it. In parallel the Security Council adopted resolution 1988 (2011) maintaining its previous sanctions against the Taliban, but separating them out into a separate resolution. The effect of the Order is to continue, in the specified Overseas Territories, the asset freeze in respect of targeted individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida as designated by the Security Council, and to prohibit funds being made available to such persons. It also prohibits the supply of military goods and technical assistance related to military activities to designated persons. The list of persons designated by the Security Council is to be found at http://www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/AQList.htm The Order revokes the Al-Qa’ida and Taliban (United Nations Measures) (Overseas Territories) Order 2002 and the Al-Qa’ida and Taliban (United Nations Measures) (Overseas Territories) (Amendment) Order 2002.

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.
