Part 3: Licensing of Hydrogen Pipeline Projects Section 142: Repeal of Part 3
Section 142 enables the Secretary of State, by regulations, to repeal any of the preceding provisions of this new Part. For example, when government intervention is considered to be no longer required in the allocation and implementation of a RAB in respect of hydrogen pipeline projects.
	Subsection (2) provides that if any of the provisions remain in force on 31 December 2040 and each five-year anniversary of that date (a "relevant date"), the Secretary of State is required to consider whether it is appropriate to repeal that provision and, if satisfied that it is not appropriate to do so, to publish a statement explaining why not. Such statement must be published no later than three months after the relevant date.
