(2)Any such regulations shall make provision as to circumstances in which compensation is not to be payable.

(3)Any such regulations shall make provision—

(b)by a sum equal to the prescribed percentage of the appropriate sum.

(5)In subsection (4) of this section “the appropriate sum” means the product of the sum which represents the annual value of the right to win and work minerals at the site to which the order relates and a multiplier which the Secretary of State considers appropriate having regard to the period at the expiration of which the minerals in, on or under that site might be expected to be exhausted if they continued to be extracted at the rate which has been assumed for the purpose of calculating the annual value of the right to win and work them.

(6)The prescribed percentage shall not be more than 10 per cent.

(7)The annual value of the right to win and work the minerals shall be calculated in the prescribed manner.

(8)In this Act “mineral compensation modifications” means modifications specified in regulations made by virtue of this section.

(9)Regulations under this section—
