Land Drainage Act 1976

Procedure and other matters after the making of an order

5 After the Minister has made an order it shall be published in such manner as he thinks best adapted for informing the persons affected, together with a notice that the Minister has made the order and that the order will become final and have effect unless within such period of not less than 30 days as may be specified in the notice a memorial is presented to the Minister, by a person who is affected by the order and has such interest as may be prescribed as being sufficient for the purpose, praying that the order shall be subject to special parliamentary procedure.

6 If no such memorial has been presented within such period as aforesaid or if every such memorial has been withdrawn, the Minister shall confirm the order and it shall thereupon have effect, but if such a memorial has been presented and has not been withdrawn the order shall be subject to special parliamentary procedure.

7 An order shall in any event be subject to special parliamentary procedure if the Minister so directs.

8 The Minister may revoke, either wholly or partially, any order that is subject to special parliamentary procedure, at any time before it has been laid before Parliament.
