This Order amends the Iran (United Nations Sanctions) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/886) (“the principal Order”) to give effect to changes to certain aspects of United Nations sanctions against Iran which took effect on 16th January 2016 as set out in United Nations Security Council resolution 2231 adopted on 20th July 2015 (S/RES/2231 (2015)). In particular, the Order substitutes new restrictions on the carriage of certain goods to and from Iran in articles 4 and 4A of the principal Order, subject to the licensing provisions in new article 4B. It also omits the restrictions on the provision of ship supply services in article 5A of the principal Order. The Order also updates and makes minor amendments to other articles in the principal Order. It omits the restrictions on procurement of certain goods from Iran in article 3 of the principal Order as provision is made for this in export control legislation.

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.
