Atomic Energy Act 1946

15 Provisions as to orders

(1) Every order made by the Minister under this Act, except an order made under section seven thereof or an order varying or revoking such an order, shall be laid before Parliament forthwith after it is made, and if either House of Parliament, within a period of forty days beginning with the day on which any such order is laid before it, resolves that the order be annulled, the order shall cease to have effect, but without prejudice to anything previously done thereunder or to the making of a new order.
