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 revokes the instruments listed in article 7, to the extent that they apply in relation to England, and consolidates their provisions. With the exception of the Salmon and Migratory Trout (Enforcement) Order 1973, this Order does not alter the effect of those instruments. The provisions of the Salmon and Migratory Trout (Enforcement) Order 1973 are not replicated in this Order because the enforcement of the provisions consolidated in this Order is now carried out by the Marine Management Organisation and not by British sea-fishery officers. Article 3 sets out the waters in which fishing for salmon or migratory trout is prohibited. These are the waters around England and the North-East Atlantic waters. Contravention of the prohibition is an offence under section 5(1) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967. Article 4 prohibits the landing in England of salmon or migratory trout caught in the waters around the United Kingdom, or caught by a specified method in certain waters. Article 5 provides an exception to the prohibition in article 4(d). Contravention of the prohibition is an offence under section 6(5) of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967. No impact assessment has been produced in respect of this Order as no, or no significant, impact on the costs of the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen. The Explanatory Memorandum is available at 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.
