43 (1) Where proposals are approved under paragraph 42 they shall be implemented.

(2) But the National Assembly—

(a) may modify the proposals, after consulting such persons as they consider appropriate;

(b) where the proposals were approved subject to the occurrence of a specified event by a specified time, may (before the arrival of the specified time) substitute a later time;

(c) may determine that the proposals shall not be implemented if implementation would be unreasonably difficult or if it would be inappropriate because of changes in circumstances since the proposals were approved.

(3) The National Assembly may act under sub-paragraph (2)(a) or (b) only in response to a request by the Council.

(4) A determination may be made under sub-paragraph (2)(c) only in response to a proposal of the Council which is published and dealt with in accordance with regulations (which may, in particular, apply any provision of this Schedule with or without modification); and where a determination is made under sub-paragraph (2)(c) in relation to the proposals they shall be treated as rejected.
