If the Secretary of State, after consulting the Advisory Committee established under the next following section, is satisfied that the scope of the foregoing section should be extended so as to include wild animals of a kind appearing to him to stand in need of conservation (other than birds), or diminished so as to exclude animals of a kind appearing to him no longer to stand in need of conservation, he may by order make the necessary modifications in the Schedule to this Act.

The power conferred by the foregoing subsection on the Secretary of State shall be exercisable by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.
