These Regulations provide a power of entry to inspectors to undertake the sampling required by Commission Decision 2005/636/EC (concerning a financial contribution by the Community towards a baseline survey on the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in broiler flocks of Gallus gallus to be carried out in the Member States) to detect the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in broiler chickens. Regulation 3 provides that the National Assembly is responsible for selection of holdings for sampling for the purposes of the Commission Decision. Regulation 4 provides that the occupier or person in charge of a holding must provide information to the National Assembly, upon request, to assist it with the selection of holdings to be included in the survey. Regulation 5 provides inspectors with various powers including a power of entry and power to take samples of faecal material, to examine records and to make inquiries of any person. Regulation 6 creates offences for obstructing an inspector exercising his or her powers under these Regulations and regulation 7 sets out the applicable penalty. Regulation 8 makes provisions in relation to offences by bodies corporate. Regulation 9 provides that these Regulations are enforceable by the local authority. A regulatory appraisal of the effect which this instrument will have on the costs of business has been prepared and copies can be obtained from the National Assembly for Wales, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ.

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
Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
