respect of any building registered under section 43A, the trustees or governing body of that building must certify the name and address of the person so authorised to—athe Registrar General, andbthe superintendent registrar of the registration district in which the building is situated.3The power conferred by this section may only be exercised after the end of the relevant one year period (and, if that period has ended before the date of the registration under section 43A, the power may accordingly be exercised immediately).4The relevant one year period is the period of one year beginning with the date of the registration of the building under section 43A (the “new registration”).5But if—athere is any earlier registration of the building under section 41 which is still in force at the date of the new registration, orbthere has been any earlier qualifying registration of a previous building,the relevant one year period is the period of one year beginning with the date of that registration (or the earlier of those dates).6For that purpose there is a qualifying registration of a previous building if—athe congregation on whose behalf the new registration is made previously used another building for the purpose of public religious worship,bthat building was registered under section 41 or 43A, andcthat registration was cancelled not more than one month before the date of

and regulations made under any of those sections.Regulations about sections 41 and 43 and 43A to 43C43D1The Secretary of State may by statutory instrument make regulations about the procedures to be followed and the fees payable—aon registration applications;bin relation to section 43B authorisations;con cancellation applications.2The Secretary of State may by statutory instrument

sections 41 and 43A, or gives or certifies authorisations under sections 43 and 43B, in respect of the same building at the same time (including provision modifying any requirement imposed by any of those sections or by regulations under subsection (1) of this section).3A statutory instrument containing regulations made under this section is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.4In this section—cancellation application” means an application under section 43C for the cancellation of the registration of a building;registration application” means an application under section 43A for the registration of a building;section 43B authorisation” means the authorisation of a person under section 43B to be present at the solemnization of marriages in a building registered under section 43A..<Emphasis>Shared buildings</Emphasis>3After section 44 insert—<Emphasis>Registration of shared buildings for marriage of same sex couples</Emphasis>Building subject to Sharing of Church Buildings Act 1969: registration44A1This section applies to a registration application relating to a building that is—asubject to a sharing agreement, orbused as mentioned in section 6(4) of the 1969 Act.2The registration application must be made in accordance with section 43A (as read with section 26A(3)).3But those provisions have effect subject to the following provisions of this section.4Each of the sharing churches is a relevant religious organisation for the purposes of section 26A(3).5A consent given under section 26A(3) (a “consent to marriages of same sex couples”) by the relevant governing authority of any of the sharing churches is therefore sufficient for the registration application to be made in compliance with section 26A(3) (and references to the consent of the relevant governing authority in section 43A are to be read accordingly).6But the registration application may not be made unless the relevant governing authorities of each of the sharing churches (other than those which have given consents to marriages of same sex couples) have given a separate written consent to the use of the shared building for the solemnization of marriages of same sex couples (a “consent to use”).7The registration application must also be accompanied by—aa certificate, given by the applicant and dated not more than one month before the making of the application, that the relevant governing authorities mentioned in subsection (6) have given written consents to use, andbcopies of those consents.8The superintendent registrar must also send to the Registrar General—athe certificate, andbthe copies of the consents,which accompany the application in accordance with subsection (7).9The Registrar General must not register the shared building unless and until subsection (8) and the requirements of section 43A have been complied with.10The Secretary of State may by statutory instrument make regulations containing such provision supplementing this section as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate.Building subject to Sharing of Church Buildings Act 1969: cancellation44B1This section applies to a cancellation application relating to a building that is—asubject to a sharing agreement, orbused as mentioned in section 6(4) of the 1969 Act.2The cancellation application must be made in accordance with section 43C.3But section 43C has effect subject to the following provisions of this section.4The cancellation application may be made either—aby a proprietor or trustee of the building, orbby the relevant governing authority of any of the sharing churches.5For that purpose, in relation to a sharing church, “relevant governing authority” means the person or persons recognised by the members of the sharing church as competent for the purpose of making an application under section 43C in the circumstances to which this section applies.6In a case where the cancellation application is made by a relevant governing authority in accordance with subsection (4)(b)—athe application must be accompanied by a certificate, given by persons making the application, that they are the relevant governing authority of one of the sharing churches; andbthe superintendent registrar must (in addition to forwarding the application in accordance with section 43C(3)) send a copy of that certificate to the Registrar General.7The Secretary of State may by statutory instrument make regulations containing such provision supplementing this section as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate.Other shared places of worship: registration and cancellation44C1The Secretary of State may by statutory instrument make regulations about—aregistration applications relating to other shared places of worship;bcancellation applications relating to other shared places of worship;cthe sharing churches' use of other shared places of worship (in cases where those places are registered under section 43A) for the solemnization of marriages of same sex couples.2The provision that may be made under subsection (1)(a) or (b) includes provision about the procedures to be followed on registration applications or cancellation applications.3In this section “other shared place of worship” means a shared building—awhich has been certified as required by law as a place of religious worship, butbto which sections 44A and 44B do not apply because the building is neither—isubject to a sharing agreement, noriiused as mentioned in section 6(4) of the 1969 Act.Sections 44A to 44C: supplementary provision44D1In sections 44A to 44C (and this section)—1969 Act” means the Sharing of Church Buildings Act 1969;cancellation application” means an application under section 43C for the cancellation of the registration of a building;registration application” means an application under section 43A for the registration of a building;sharing agreement” has the meaning given in section 1 of the 1969 Act;shared building” means a building that is—subject to a sharing agreement,used as mentioned in section 6(4) of the 1969 Act, orotherwise shared;shared building provisions” means sections 44A to 44C;sharing churches” means—in the case of a building subject to a sharing agreement, the churches that have made the agreement;in the case of a building used as mentioned in section 6(4) of the 1969 Act, the churches that so use it;in the case of any other shared building, the religious organisations (whether Christian or of another faith) that share it.2Regulations under any of the shared building provisions may provide for a registration application relating to a shared building to be made otherwise than by the proprietor or trustee of the building (whether or not the proprietor or trustee retains power to make such an application).3Regulations under any of the shared building provisions may make provision about any of these cases—athe case where a building registered under section 43A becomes a shared building;bthe case where a building registered under section 43A ceases to be a shared building;cthe case where a building is registered under section 43A and there is a change in the churches which are sharing churches;and the provision that may be made about such a case includes provision for the modification, suspension or cancellation of the registration under section 43A.4Regulations under any of the shared building provisions may make provision about the use of shared buildings for the solemnization of—amarriages of same sex couples according to the usages of the Society of Friends (commonly called Quakers), andbmarriages of same sex couples professing the Jewish religion according to the usages of the Jews.5The provision that may be made about the use of shared buildings for the solemnization of such marriages includes—aprovision about the giving of consent by the relevant governing authority for the purposes of a registration application or cancellation application (including provision for identifying the relevant governing authority);bprovision corresponding to, or applying, any provision of section 43B (with or without modifications).6Regulations under any of the shared buildings provisions may amend any England and Wales legislation.7Subsections (2) to (6) do not limit the power under any of the shared building provisions to make regulations.8A statutory instrument containing regulations under any of the shared building provisions may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and
