Protection of Freedoms Act 2012

Section 44: Procedural and supplementary provisions

195.Subsection (1) provides that an order made under sections 39(1), 40 and 41 may modify any enactment and is to be made by statutory instrument, such an order may include any appropriate incidental, consequential, supplementary, transitory, transitional or saving provisions. The power to make consequential amendments could, for example, be used to repeal any offence which becomes redundant as a result of the repeal of a related power of entry. By virtue of subsections (2) and (4), an order made by a Minister of the Crown under sections 39(1), 40 and 41 is subject to the affirmative resolution procedure where it amends or repeals provisions in primary legislation, but is otherwise subject to the negative resolution procedure.

196.Subsection (3) disapplies the hybridity procedure should such procedure apply to an order made by the Minister of the Crown under sections 39(1), 40 and 41. The hybridity procedure is explained in paragraph 155.

197.Subsections (6) and (7) provide that a relevant order made by the Welsh Ministers is similarly subject to the affirmative resolution procedure in the National Assembly for Wales so far as it amends or repeals provisions in primary legislation. Otherwise it is subject to the negative resolution procedure.
