103 Specified provisions in carbon dioxide storage licences

(1) Schedule 6 amends Schedule 1 to the Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Licensing etc.) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2221) (“the 2010 Regulations”). (2) Subsections (3) to (5) apply in relation to a licence granted (or having effect as if granted) by the Oil and Gas Authority under section 18(1) of the Energy Act 2008 which is in force immediately before the commencement of Schedule 6. (3) The licence has effect with the addition of provision having the same legal effect as paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to the 2010 Regulations (as inserted by Schedule 6 to this Act). (4) If the licence confers power on the Oil and Gas Authority to revoke a licence in connection with a change in control of a licence holder which is a company, the licence has effect— (a) with the omission of such provision, and (b) with the replacement of such provision by provision having the same legal effect as paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 to the 2010 Regulations (as inserted by Schedule 6 to this Act). (5) If the licence confers power on the Oil and Gas Authority to partially revoke a licence in connection with a change in control of a licence holder which is a company, the licence has effect— (a) with the omission of such provision, and (b) with the replacement of such provision by provision having the same legal effect as paragraph 8 of Schedule 1 to the 2010 Regulations (as inserted by Schedule 6 to this Act). (6) A reference in any document to provisions of a licence which are to have effect with amendments as provided for by Schedule 6 is to be construed, unless the nature of the document or the context otherwise requires, as a reference to those provisions as amended. (7) A provision inserted in a licence by virtue of Schedule 6 may be altered or deleted by deed executed by the Secretary of State and the licence holder or, as respects Scotland, by an instrument subscribed or authenticated by the Secretary of State and the licence holder in accordance with the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
