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

Both Houses had to approve this instrument before it could take effect, and did so.

Procedure
Made affirmative — both Houses had to approve it
Could either House amend it?
No. A statutory instrument is put to each House as a whole thing, to be approved or not. Neither House can change a word of it.
Objection motion
A non-fatal motion to object was tabled — it records disapproval without stopping the instrument
