§ Mr. SproatMy Department sponsored 12 statutory instruments in the last Session of Parliament. Two of these are new regulations—the Open Spaces: Hyde Park and Regent's Park (Vehicle Parking) Regulations 1995, controlling parking in the royal parks, and the Football Spectators Seating Order 1995 extending the regulations affecting seating at football grounds. None of the statutory instruments was introduced to implement European Community directives, and none amplifies the minimum standards set out in an original European Community directive.
