        (1)         Where, by any Act passed after the sixteenth day of December, 1915, it is provided that regulations shall or may be made and it is not provided by whom such regulations shall or may be made, any regulation made under, or by virtue of, such provision, shall be made by the Governor.

        (3)         Except as is expressly provided in any other Act, every regulation must be laid before each House of Parliament within six sitting days of that House after it has been made.

        (4)         A failure to have a regulation laid before both Houses of Parliament in accordance with subsection (3) does not affect the operation or effect of that regulation.

        (5)         The Legislative Review Committee of the Parliament may report a failure to comply with subsection (3) to each House of Parliament.

        (5a)         Subject to this section, where—

            (a)         a regulation has been laid before each House of Parliament in accordance with subsection (3); or

            (b)         a report has been made in respect of a regulation by the Legislative Review Committee of the Parliament in accordance with subsection (5),

that regulation may be disallowed by resolution of either House of Parliament and will cease to have effect.

        (5b)         A resolution is not effective for the purposes of subsection (5a) unless—

            (a)         in the case of a regulation that has been laid before the House in accordance with subsection (3)—the resolution is passed in pursuance of a notice of motion given within 14 sitting days (which need not fall within the same session of Parliament) after the regulation was laid before the House; or

            (b)         in the case of a regulation that has been the subject of a report by the Legislative Review Committee of the Parliament in accordance with subsection (5)—the resolution is passed in pursuance of a notice of motion given within six sitting days (which need not fall within the same session of Parliament) after the report of the Legislative Review Committee of the Parliament has been made to the House.

        (6)         When a resolution referred to in subsection (5a) of this section has been passed, notice of that resolution shall forthwith be published in the Gazette.

        (7)         Notwithstanding anything in this section, where in any Act, whether passed before or after the commencement of this Act, it is provided that any regulation shall be made by an authority other than the Governor and that that regulation shall be confirmed by the Governor or some other authority before it shall have the force of law, that regulation shall not take effect unless it has been confirmed as required.
