PROVISIONAL See also:

ORDER , a method of See also:procedure followed by several See also:government departments in See also:England, authorizing See also:action on the See also:part of See also:local authorities under various acts of See also:parliament. Procedure by provisional order is a substitute for the more expensive course of private See also:bill legislation; it is usually employed for such purposes as alteration of areas, compulsory See also:purchase of See also:land, See also:building of See also:light See also:railways, &c. A preliminary local inquiry is first held in public by an inspector of the See also:department to whom application has been made to issue it. Upon the See also:report of the inspector and other See also:information the department decides whether or not to issue the order. The order when issued has no force until it is confirmed by parliament. For this purpose it is included with other orders in a confirming bill, introduced by the See also:minister at the See also:head of the department concerned. In both houses of parliament all provisional order bills are referred to examiners for compliance with See also:standing orders. In the See also:House of Lords, if a provisional order bill is opposed, it is referred to a select See also:committee and then to a committee of the whole house; if not opposed, it goes, after second See also:reading, to a committee of the whole house, and in both cases then proceeds as a public bill. In the House of See also:Commons, the bill goes after second reading to the committee of selection or to the See also:general committee on railway and See also:canal bills; if unopposed it is treated as an unopposed private bill; if opposed it goes to a private bill committee, which hears See also:evidence for and against.
