| | “(5A) Regulations may not be made under this section unless a draft has been laid |
| | before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. |
| | (5B) But, in the case of regulations other than the first set of regulations under |
| | this section, subsection (5A) does not apply if it appears to the Secretary of |
| | State that by reason of urgency they should be made without being |
| | approved in draft. |
| | (5C) Where by virtue of subsection (5B) regulations are made without being |
| | approved in draft, the regulations— |
| | (a) must be laid before Parliament, and |
| | (b) cease to have effect at the end of the period mentioned in subsection |
| | (5D) unless they are approved during that period by resolution of |
| | each House of Parliament. |
| | (5D) The period referred to in subsection (5C)(b) is the period of 40 days— |
| | (a) beginning with the day on which the regulations are made, and |
| | (b) ignoring any period during which Parliament is dissolved or |
| | prorogued or during which both Houses are adjourned for more |
| | than four days. |
| | (5E) The fact that regulations cease to have effect by virtue of subsection (5C)— |
| | (a) does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before the |
| | regulations cease to have effect, and |
| | (b) does not prevent the making of new regulations.” |
