Paragraph 25

This paragraph has effect where the Commissioners have made, given or amended a designation or general direction (“an emergency designation or direction”), or have revoked a designation or general direction, in an emergency without observing the requirements of paragraphs 1 to 24.

Where this paragraph has effect, the Commissioners shall revoke the emergency designation or direction, or as the case may be reinstate the designation or direction which has been revoked, as soon as reasonably practicable after the emergency ceases to exist unless they decide to proceed in accordance with sub-paragraph (3).

If the Commissioners propose to give permanent effect to an emergency designation or direction, or to the revocation of a designation or a general direction, they shall inform the relevant consultees as soon as practicable of their proposals, and the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 24 shall apply with all necessary modifications to those proposals.
