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 vote to approve it. A non-fatal motion to object was tabled, which records disapproval without stopping the instrument.
- Procedure
- Made negative — law unless a motion to stop it succeeded
- 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
- Committee
- Drawn to the special attention of the Houses by a scrutiny committee
