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?: 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.
Committee: Drawn to the special attention of the Houses by a scrutiny committee
