	Subsection (3) adds that if the Secretary of State proposes to revise a code of practice in that way, then the Secretary of State must lay the code before both Houses of Parliament. Subsections (4) to (6) provide that if no resolution is made against the code in either of the two Houses within 40 days of its laying, the Secretary of State must issue the code in the form of the draft, and it will come into effect on a day that the Secretary of State stipulates via regulations. See paragraph 106 below as to procedure.
