Regulations under this Part

Section 73: Regulations under this Part

364.This section sets out the Parliamentary procedure which attaches to regulations which may be made under this Part. All regulations are subject to the affirmative procedure, except for the regulations under section 66(1)(c) which allow for the abolition of the Adjudicator if the Pubs Code has been revoked and not replaced.

365.Subsection (3) states that the hybrid instrument procedure in the House of Lords will not apply, even if any regulations made under the power to grant exemptions from the Pubs Code would otherwise apply to them, were it not for this subsection.
