Section 6 Power to make regulations for Crown Lands used by the public

Subject to the provisions of this section, the Commissioners of Crown Lands may make such regulations to be observed by persons using any land to which this section applies as they consider necessary for securing the proper management of the land and the preservation of order and prevention of abuses therein, and subsection (2) of section two of the 16 & 17 Geo. 5. c. 36.Parks Regulation (Amendment) Act, 1926 (which requires regulations made thereunder to be laid before Parliament) shall apply to regulations made under this section as it applies to regulations made under that Act.

On and after the date on which any regulations made under this section come into operation as respects any land, the provisions of the 35 & 36 Vict. c. 15.Parks Regulation Act, 1872, shall apply to that land as they apply to a park to which that Act applies and as if references to the Commissioners of Works included references to the Commissioners of Crown Lands and as if references to regulations included references to regulations made under this section.

If any person fails to comply with or acts in contravention of any regulations made under this section, he shall be guilty of an offence against the Parks Regulation Act, 1872, and shall be liable on conviction thereof by a court of summary jurisdiction to a penalty not exceeding five pounds.

The 31 & 32 Vict. c. 37.Documentary Evidence Act, 1868, as amended by the 45 & 46 Vict. c. 9.Documentary Evidence Act, 1882, shall apply to the Commissioners of Crown Lands as though those Commissioners were included in the first column of the Schedule to the first-mentioned Act and as if the Commissioners or any person authorised to act on behalf of the Commissioners were mentioned in the second column of that Schedule and as if the regulations referred to in those Acts included any regulations made under this section.

This section applies to any land in Great Britain, the management of which is vested in the Commissioners of Crown Lands under the Crown Lands Acts, 1829 to 1927, and to which the public are allowed access from time to time.
