Part 4: New Technology Chapter 1: Low-Carbon Heat Schemes Section 151: Scheme regulations: procedure, etc.
This section establishes procedural requirements for the making of scheme regulations. These depend on the matters covered in the regulations. Subsection (2) sets out when such a statutory instrument would be subject to the affirmative parliamentary procedure. This includes the creation of new offences, the amendment of primary legislation, and a class of changes that would substantially alter or extend the scope of the scheme, for instance to apply low-carbon heat targets to a new class of parties or technologies. Other statutory instruments relating to the scheme would be made under the negative resolution procedure (subsection (1)).
