211.This paragraph modifies section 53(2) of the 1988 Act in consequence of subsections (6) and (7) of new section 20A of that Act (inserted by section 30(2) of the 2025 Act), and subsection (5) and (6) of section 37 of that Act (inserted by section 32(3) of the 2025 Act). Section 20A(7) provides that regulations made under section 20A(6) are subject to the affirmative procedure, and section 37(6) provides that regulations made under section 37(5) are subject to the affirmative procedure. The modification made to section 53(2) ensures that the default negative procedure for regulations under the 1988 Act does not apply to regulations under new sections 20A(6) and 37(5).
