Paragraph 2

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Byelaws shall be made under the common seal of the statutory harbour authority and shall not have effect until they are confirmed by the Secretary of State: Provided that a byelaw which prohibits or regulates the entry of a dangerous substance into a harbour area and which has been made after consultation with any berth operator who appears to the authority to be affected by the proposed byelaw, shall come into force when application is made for its confirmation but such a byelaw shall cease to have effect if the Secretary of State refuses to confirm it or, if he confirms it with modifications, shall thereafter have effect as so modified.
