Part 11: Supplementary Provisions

Section 53: Orders

130.This section provides that any power conferred on the Secretary of State to make an order is exercisable by statutory instrument. The only such power in the Act is the power to bring its provisions into force. The subordinate legislation may make different provision for different cases. It may make incidental, consequential, supplemental and transitional provision or savings, including power to amend any Acts passed or made before this one. The section provides that any order which amends any enactment is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament (unless, by virtue of some other provision, it is subject to the affirmative procedure instead).
