(1) If the Secretary of State proposes to make a scheme under section 50, the Secretary of State must consult the licence holder mentioned in section 50(2) (“the proposed transferor”) before making the scheme.
(2) If the Secretary of State proposes to make a scheme under section 50 which transfers designated property, rights or liabilities to a person or persons falling within section 50(3)(b) (“the proposed transferee or transferees”), the Secretary of State must consult before making the scheme—
(a) the proposed transferee or transferees, and
(b) where a proposed transferee is not a public authority—
(i) the economic regulator,
(ii) the Health and Safety Executive,
(iii) the Oil and Gas Authority,
(iv) the appropriate devolved authorities (if any), and
(v) such other persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
(3) The matters on which the Secretary of State is to consult the proposed transferor, and the proposed transferee or transferees, must include the provision the proposed scheme should make.
(4) The matters on which the Secretary of State is to consult a body or person falling within subsection (2)(b)(i) to (v) must include whether the proposed transferee is an appropriate person, or whether the proposed transferees are appropriate persons, for the purposes of section 50(3)(b).
(5) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b)(iv) the “appropriate devolved authorities” are—

(b) the Scottish Ministers, if provision making the proposed scheme would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if it were contained in an Act of that Parliament;
(c) the Department for the Economy in Northern Ireland, if provision making the proposed scheme—
(i) would be within the legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly if it were contained in an Act of that Assembly, and
(ii) would not, if it were contained in a Bill in the Northern Ireland Assembly, result in the Bill requiring the consent of the Secretary of State under section 8 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
(6) In this section, “designated” has the same meaning as in section 50.

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.
Sign in to file your proposal. What you have written stays on this page.
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.
