Section 43: Consultation requirements before modifying powers of entry
194.Before making an order under sections 39(1), 40 or 41 the appropriate national authority must consult with the representatives of persons entitled to exercise the powers of entry (and associated powers) that are to be the subject of such an order. For example, in the case of powers of entry exercised by the police, the Home Secretary would normally consult the Association of Chief Police Officers. The Minister may consult any other persons he or she considers appropriate.
