And whereas the proposed scheme relates only to new principal areas;
And whereas notice of the general nature of the scheme has been given under section 6(2) of the Fire Services Act 19472 (“the 1947 Act”) to the existing authorities whose areas lie wholly or partly within the proposed combined area, and to each of the new principal councils concerned;
And whereas the Secretary of State has considered the representations made to him with respect to the scheme before the end of the period specified in such notice;
And whereas a draft of the Order containing the draft scheme has been laid before Parliament for a period of forty days pursuant to section 6 of the Statutory Instruments Act 19463, and that period has expired without either House resolving that the Order be not made;
