Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order) — published with the instrument by the department that made it. © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

This Order prohibits, subject to exceptions, fishing by Welsh fishing boats (article 3) and fishing by Crown Dependency Boats within the Welsh zone (article 4) unless such boats are licensed by the Welsh ministers. It also prohibits fishing by foreign boats (article 5) within the Welsh zone unless those boats are so licensed. Article 6 of the Order revokes the Sea fish Licensing Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/2633) and instruments which varied or amended it so far as they relate to Welsh fishing boats and fishing within the Welsh zone. The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order. A copy can be obtained from the Welsh Government, 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 has no record of this instrument, although it covers the period. Nothing is inferred from that.
