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.
