Paragraph (w) of section 61(11) states that in addition to the persons specifically mentioned in section 61(11) the Secretary of State may prescribe other persons by Order. This Order revokes the previous Order which prescribed “other persons” and prescribes another list of “other persons” which is basically the list in the previous Order with additions and changes bringing that list up to date. As before this Order includes Ministers of the Crown not already mentioned for the specific purposes set out in paragraph (m), (o), (p), (q), (t) or (v) of section 61(11).",
