The Secretary of State makes these Regulations in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by section 143(2) of the Mines and Quarries Act 1954(1), section 2(2) of the European Communities Act 1972(2) and sections 15(1), (2), (3)(c), (5)(a) and (9), 18(2)(a) and 82(3)(a) of, and paragraphs 1(1), 4, 5, 6(1), 7, 9, 11, 13(2), 14 and 16, of Schedule 3 to, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974(3) (“the 1974 Act”).

The Secretary of State is a Minister designated in relation to the control and regulation of genetically modified organisms(4).

In making these Regulations, and save as is referred to below, he gives effect without modifications to proposals submitted to him by the Health and Safety Executive under section 11(3) of the 1974 Act.

Before submitting those proposals to the Secretary of State, the Health and Safety Executive consulted the bodies that appeared to it to be appropriate as required by section 50(3) of the 1974 Act.

The Secretary of State makes sub-paragraphs (4)(a) and (c), (9)(a), (b)(ii), (d) and (e) and (10)(a) of paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to these Regulations independently of those proposals to the extent that those provisions relate to, or are connected with, the insertion by these Regulations of regulation 13(4)(f) of the Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005(5).

In relation to the provisions made independently of the Health and Safety Executive’s proposals and in accordance with section 50(1AA) of the 1974 Act, the Secretary of State has consulted the Health and Safety Executive and the other body which appeared to him to be appropriate to consult, namely, the Local Government Association.
