(b) any matter which under this Act may be regulated by prison rules.

(2) Rules under this Act and the Prison Acts, 1865 to 1893, shall not be made until a draft thereof has lain before each House of Parliament for not less than thirty days during which that House is sitting, and if either House, before the expiration of that period, presents an address to Her Majesty against the draft or any part thereof, no further proceedings shall be taken thereon, but without prejudice to the making of any new draft rules.
