Article 29 Confirmation of byelaws
The provisions contained in subsections (3) to (8) of section 236 (procedure etc., for byelaws) of the 1972 Act and section 238 of that Act (evidence of byelaws) apply to all byelaws made after the coming into force of this Order, by the Council under this Order or section 83 of the 1847 Act (byelaws may be made for all or any of the purposes herein named).
In its application to byelaws made under this Order or section 83 of the 1847 Act, section 236 of the 1972 Act has effect, subject to paragraph (3), as if after the word “confirm” in subsection 236(7) in the first place where that word occurs there were inserted the words “with or without modification”.
Where the confirming authority proposes to make a modification which appears to the confirming authority to be substantial, then the confirming authority must—
inform the Council and require it to take any steps the confirming authority thinks necessary for informing persons likely to be concerned with that modification;
not confirm the byelaws until there has elapsed such period as the confirming authority thinks reasonable for the Council and other persons who have been informed of the proposed modification to consider and comment on it.
The confirming authority for the purposes of this article and of section 236 of the 1972 Act, in its application to byelaws made under this Order or section 83 of the 1847 Act, is the Secretary of State.
