41 Power to vary trusts of property provided out of the Miners’ Welfare Fund.E+W+S
[F1(1)Where any trusts subsisting immediately before the first day of July, nineteen hundred and fifty-two, are in force in respect of property consisting—
(a)of property representing an application of moneys standing to the credit of the miners’ welfare fund; or
(b)of property representing such an application and other property held therewith where the value of the property representing such application substantially exceeds the value of that other property,
and it appears to the Minister that any variation of those trusts (including provisions relating to the appointment or removal of trustees) is expedient in the interests of social welfare activities, he may by order make provision for that variation.
(2)No order shall be made under this section except on the application of the Social Welfare Organisation, nor unless the Minister is satisfied that the said Organisation have given notice by advertisement or otherwise, describing the proposals and affording to persons who would be affected thereby an opportunity to object to them, and have taken such other steps (if any) as appear to the Minister to be appropriate in the circumstances for ascertaining the views of such persons.]
(3)Trusts as varied by an order under this section may be varied by a subsequent order made thereunder.
