Section 7 Pilot regulations: procedureI1

The power to make pilot regulations is exercisable by statutory instrument.

When a statutory instrument or a draft statutory instrument containing pilot regulations is laid before Senedd Cymru for the purposes of this section, the Welsh Ministers must also lay before the Senedd a copy of the report on the regulations prepared by the Democracy and Boundary Commission Cymru under section 14.

If a statutory instrument or a draft statutory instrument containing pilot regulations laid before Senedd Cymru makes provision applying to the area of a principal council (or any part of it) to which the council has not given its consent, the Welsh Ministers must also lay a statement before the Senedd explaining why they consider the provision should be made without the council’s consent.

A statutory instrument to which this subsection applies may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of Senedd Cymru.

Subsection (4) applies to a statutory instrument containing pilot regulations that make provision—

A statutory instrument containing pilot regulations to which subsection (5) does not apply is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of Senedd Cymru.‍‍
