Explanatory note

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

This Order is one of a series of Orders implementing Directive 2005/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26th October 2005 (OJ L 310, 25.11.2005, p28-39) on enhancing port security at individual ports in the United Kingdom. The Directive was transposed in relation to the United Kingdom as a whole by the Port Security Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2048). Article 2 and Schedule 1 identify the boundaries of the Port of Sullom Voe for the purposes of regulation 3(2)(a) of the Port Security Regulations 2009. Article 3(1) designates the Sullom Voe Port Security Authority, for the purposes of regulation 5 of those Regulations, as the port security authority for the Port of Sullom Voe. Article 3(2) and Schedule 2 make provision with respect to the Authority’s membership and proceedings, to members’ interests and to the Authority’s status as a non-Crown body. Article 4 requires the Secretary of State to review the operation and effect of this Order and publish a report before 10th September 2018 and within every five years after that. Following a review it will fall to the Secretary of State to consider whether the Order should remain as it is, or be revoked or be amended. A further instrument would be needed to revoke the Order or to amend it. A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from Gary Kemp at Zone 2/32, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR (Tel: 020 7944 6242; email: Gary.Kemp@dft.gsi.gov.uk) and is published with the Explanatory Memorandum alongside the instrument on http://www.legislation.gov.uk.

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.
