Climate Change Act 2008

Section 91: Affirmative and negative resolution procedure

484.This section defines the terms “affirmative resolution procedure” and “negative resolution procedure” as they apply to instruments made by the Secretary of State. Subsection (3) provides that the affirmative resolution procedure may be used wherever the negative resolution procedure is stipulated; this will allow provisions which would otherwise have to be made using different procedures to be made in the same instrument. Subsection (4) provides that this section does not apply to instruments making trading schemes (see section 49 and Schedule 3) or instruments in relation to single use carrier bags (see section 77 and Schedule 6), both of which have their own specific procedures.
