(3)Where the Department has referred proposals to the Committee [F2or the Council], the Department may make the proposed regulations before the Committee has made its report [F2or, as the case may be, the Council has given its advice]only if after the reference it appears to the Department that by reason of the urgency of the matter it is expedient to do so.

(i)which states that it contains only regulations made by virtue of, or consequential upon, a specified statutory provision; and
