These Regulations impose restrictions on gatherings of two or more persons in private dwellings in a protected area in the North of England, and impose restrictions on other gatherings of more than 30 people in that area. They also impose restrictions on persons who live in the protected area participating in gatherings of two or more persons in private dwellings outside of that area. The “protected area” covers: a in Greater Manchester: the City of Manchester, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Bury, Wigan, Bolton, Tameside, Rochdale, Salford; b in Lancashire: Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle and Rossendale; c in West Yorkshire: Calderdale and Kirklees. The need for these restrictions must be reviewed by the Secretary of State every 14 days, with the first review taking place by 19th August 2020. These Regulations also amend the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Blackburn with Darwen and Bradford) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/822) to impose similar restrictions in, and in relation to those who live in, Blackburn with Darwen and Bradford. Reviews of the restrictions in Blackburn with Darwen and Bradford will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the amended Regulations. No impact assessment has been carried out for these Regulations.

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.
