Section 75: Waste reduction provisions: roll-out or repeal

360.Subsection (1) states that subsections (2) to (6), which provide for the Secretary of State to roll out or repeal the waste reduction provisions, apply after the Secretary of State has laid a report before Parliament in accordance with section 73.

361.Subsection (2) provides two options should the Secretary of State wish to roll out the waste reduction provisions generally so as to allow a scheme to be made for any area. Subsection (2)(a) allows the Secretary of State to make an order providing that the provisions shall come into force generally on a date specified in the order. Alternatively, subsection (2)(b) allows the Secretary of State to make an order making such amendments to the provisions as appear necessary or expedient in the light of how they operated in the pilot areas, and to provide that the provisions as so amended shall come into force generally on a date specified in the order.

362.Subsection (3) andsubsection (4) provide that amendments made by an order under subsection (2)(b) may include provision for the Secretary of State to make subordinate legislation, in which case the amendments should also provide for such subordinate legislation to be subject to either the negative resolution procedure or the affirmative resolution procedure, as the Secretary of State thinks fit.

363.Subsection (5) provides that, should the Secretary of State decide not to make an order under subsection (2) which rolls out the waste reduction provisions generally, he must make an order repealing the provisions.

364.Subsection (6) provides that any order made under subsection (2)(b) or (5) must be made by affirmative resolution.
