Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007

Powers: supplementary

Section 36: Code: procedure for order

88.This section sets out the procedure for bringing the code under section 34 into force. The order giving effect to the code must be laid in draft before Parliament and is subject to the affirmative resolution procedure before being made.

89.An order may be made without a draft having been approved if the Secretary of State believes there is an urgent reason for the code to be brought into force. Any order doing so must contain a declaration to that effect from the Secretary of State and will only last 40 days unless a resolution approving the order is passed by both Houses of Parliament within that time. The end of an order (and the code brought into force by it) will not prejudice any actions previously taken or the making of a new order.
