Orders in Council.

51.(1) The Lord Lieutenant, by Order in Council, may do all or any of the following things (that is to say):—

(i) Regulate the proceedings and meetings (including quorum) of the Congested Districts Board;

(ii) Regulate and define the powers and duties of the permanent members;

(iii) Make such regulations as appear to him necessary or expedient for carrying into effect this Part of this Act.

(2) An Order of the Lord Lieutenant in Council under this section shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament as soon as may be after it is made, and, if within the next subsequent forty days on which either House has sat that House presents an address to His Majesty praying that any such Order may either in whole or in part be annulled, His Majesty in Council may annul the same either in whole or in part as the case may require, and the Order or part so annulled shall thenceforth become void without prejudice to the validity of any proceedings taken under the same in the meantime:

Provided that where any Order or any part thereof is so annulled, the Lord Lieutenant in Council may within six months thereof make another Order in place of the Order or part so annulled, subject nevertheless to be laid before Parliament, and to be annulled by His Majesty in Council in manner above mentioned, and so on as often as the case requires.
