This Order gives effect in specified Overseas Territories to sanctions imposed on Yemen by United Nations Security Council resolution 2140 (2014) of 26th February 2014, and the designation by the United Nations Sanctions Committee on 7th November 2014 of three individuals for sanctions under this resolution. This Order also reflects the implementation of these sanctions by the European Union in Council Decision 2014/932/CFSP adopted on 18th December 2014. The sanctions impose an asset freeze against individuals and entities designated by the United Nations Sanctions Committee as engaging in, or providing support for, acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Yemen. The Order makes provision for the Governor to license certain activities in line with exemptions under the sanctions regime.

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.
