“Secretary of State able to amend Authority’s powers after review

(2) Regulations are to be made by statutory instrument.
(3) An instrument containing regulations which make provision falling within this section may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.”
