Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2009 (“the 2009 Regulations”) in order to correct defects introduced to that instrument by amendments made by the Road Vehicles (Defeat Devices, Fuel Economy and Type-Approval) (Amendment) Regulations 2018 (S.I. 2018/673). Regulation 33A of the 2009 Regulations is amended by inserting a new paragraph (5A) to provide that failure to comply with paragraphs 8(1), (2) and 9(10) of Schedule 7 to those Regulations is an offence. Paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 7 is then amended to ensure that civil penalties are available in respect of such an offence (in addition to the criminal penalties that would be available under the existing wording in paragraph 2 of that Schedule). The net costs imposed on business, the voluntary sector and the public sector by these Regulations have been assessed as being less than £5m in any year and therefore a full impact assessment has not been prepared, and a Review provision has not been included.
Offences created by this instrument
- A person who breaches a prohibition in paragraphs 8(1), (2) or 9(10) of Schedule 7 is guilty of an offence regulation 2(2) · Status not determined · Strict liability
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
This instrument became law without a debate or a vote. Under the negative procedure it took effect unless a motion to stop it succeeded, and none was tabled.
- Procedure
- Made negative — law unless a motion to stop it succeeded
- Could either House amend it?
