1
The Commissioners—
a
at the request of the bishop made after consultation with the mission and pastoral committee, or
b
as a result of any representations,
may, at any time after a copy of the draft scheme or order has been served on them under section 9(1), amend any draft scheme or order prepared by the committee under this Part, but any amendments made as a result of any representations shall only be made with the agreement of the bishop given after consultation with the committee.
2
If any such amendments, other than any amendments which, in the opinion of the Commissioners, are such as are described in section 19(2), are made, the amended draft scheme or order shall be treated in the same manner as an original draft scheme or order, and section 9 shall apply accordingly.
3
The power under subsection (1) to amend a draft scheme or order includes power to amend it so that it would give effect instead to proposals included in representations made to the Commissioners on the draft; and where the Commissioners make amendments of that kind—
a
subsection (2) does not apply, and
b
the Commissioners shall instead carry out such consultation on the amended draft scheme or order as they think appropriate.
