This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
5(1)A consultative committee with whom an objection has been lodged under paragraph 3(1) above shall—
(a)consider the objection and any representations made by the operator; and
(b)report to the Secretary of State as soon as possible on the hardship, if any, which they consider will be caused by the proposed closure;
and the report may contain proposals for alleviating that hardship.
(2)Where objections with respect to any proposed closure have been lodged with more than one consultative committee, the committees in question—
(a)may report jointly to the Secretary of State; or
(b)may agree that the consideration of objections and representations relating to the closure and the making of a report to the Secretary of State shall be delegated to any of those committees appearing to them to be principally concerned.
(3)The Secretary of State may require a consultative committee to make a further report; and if in any case the Secretary of State considers that a report or further report has been unreasonably delayed he may, after consulting the committee concerned and making such enquiries as he thinks fit, consent to the proposed closure without awaiting the report or further report.
(4)Copies of every report under this paragraph shall be sent to the Central Committee and to the operator.
(5)Where for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1) or (2) above a consultative committee decide to hear an objector orally, or to hear oral representations made on behalf of the operator, they shall hear the objector or the representations, as the case may be, in public.
