7Decision by General Synod

Where the committee established under section 6 has considered a draft order referred to it and reported to the General Synod on the draft order, the Synod—

b
may reject the draft order, or
c
may refer the draft order back to the committee.

Where a draft order is referred back to the committee under subsection (1)(c), the Standing Orders of the General Synod are to apply to the draft order as if it were a draft order being referred to the committee for the first time.
3
The Standing Orders may include provision for giving further effect to subsections (1) and (2).
