“prescribed” means prescribed by the Commissioners by regulations made by statutory instrument.
(3)The power of the Commissioners to make regulations defining denatured alcohol for the purposes of this section shall include—
(a)power, in prescribing any substance or any manner of mixing a substance with a liquor, to do so by reference to such circumstances or other factors, or to the approval or opinion of such persons (including the authorities of another member State), as they may consider appropriate;
(b)power to make different provision for different cases; and
(c)power to make such supplemental, incidental, consequential and transitional provision as the Commissioners think fit;
and a statutory instrument containing any regulations under this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

(a)is made under or for the purposes of any regulations under this section, and
(b)is a decision given to any person as to whether a manner of mixing any substance with any liquor is to be, or to continue to be, approved in his case, or as to the conditions subject to which it is so approved,
as if that decision were a decision specified in Schedule 5 to that Act.
