EXPLANATORY NOTE
This order, made under the Mines and Quarries Act, 1954, s. 66 (8), specifies the manner in which persons, and articles which they have with them, must be searched when any search for smoking materials is carried out in pursuance of that section at any mine in which or in part of which no lamps or lights are permitted except locked safety-lamps and any other means of lighting authorised by regulations, or in part of which safety-lamps are for the time being in use by way of temporary precaution.
The order of the Secretary of State dated May 21st, 1912, as having effect at the commencement of the 1954 Act under s. 191 (1)(c) thereof, and which was confined to prescribing the manner of searching persons employed in mines of coal, stratified ironstone, shale and fireclay in which safety-lamps were required to be used or were being used as a temporary precaution, is revoked.
