Paragraph 13 Modified Senedd confirmation procedureF1

(1)

Sub-paragraphs (2) to (6) are a modification of the Senedd confirmation procedure in section 37D that is applicable to the subordinate legislation to which this Schedule applies.

(2)

The statutory instrument containing the subordinate legislation must be laid before Senedd Cymru as soon as practicable after the subordinate legislation is made.

(3)

But the subordinate legislation contained in the statutory instrument ceases to have effect if it is not confirmed by resolution of Senedd Cymru before—

(a)

a period specified in the enactment ends, or

(b)

an event specified in the enactment occurs.

(4)

Where the subordinate legislation ceases to have effect under sub-paragraph (3)—

(a)

in so far as the subordinate legislation is not in force when it ceases to have effect, the subordinate legislation does not come into force after that date (despite any provision in it for its coming into force),

(b)

in so far as the subordinate legislation is in force on that date, nothing further is to be done or continued under, or in reliance on, the subordinate legislation after that date, and

(c)

His Majesty may, by Order in Council, revoke the instrument.

(5)

But this does not affect—

(a)

the validity of anything previously done under the subordinate legislation, or

(b)

the making of new subordinate legislation.

(6)

An Order in Council under sub-paragraph (4)(c) is to be made by statutory instrument.
