  "heading": "Procedure for urgent suspension or temporary variation",
  "text": "(1) If the Secretary of State considers that the need to suspend an automated vehicle authorisation under section 8(2) or (3) is too urgent for the procedure in paragraph 1 to be followed, that paragraph does not apply and sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) apply instead.\n(2) The Secretary of State must—\n(a) in, or in a document issued together with, the notice by which the suspension takes effect—\n(i) explain the Secretary of State’s reasons for suspending the authorisation, and\n(ii) specify the time by which, and manner in which, representations may be made, and\n(b) as soon as reasonably practicable after suspending the authorisation—\n(i) consider any representations made by the authorised self-driving entity in response to (and in accordance with) that notice, and\n(ii) decide whether to lift the suspension.\n(3) If, having complied with sub-paragraph (2), the Secretary of State decides not to lift the suspension, the Secretary of State must issue to the authorised self-driving entity a notice that—\n(a) states the Secretary of State’s decision, and\n(b) explains the Secretary of State’s reasons for the decision.\n(4) The preceding sub-paragraphs apply in relation to temporary variation as they apply in relation to suspension; and for that purpose the references to lifting the suspension are to be read as references to reversing the variation.",
